Maybe you should all write a 3000 word essay on how to read critically and understand where the writer is coming from. At least one of you got it. I grew up in small town Iowa. I love Canadians (except their beers), and I enjoy traveling and learning about everyone's cultures. I accept everyone for who they are. Thread fail. Close it. I'll just ask Wikipedia....It'll have better information.......
No, people are just calling you out for your demonstration of general ignorance...
In your original rant, you implied that "foreigners" were taking many aviation jobs from "regular Americans", even resulting in some furloughs...patently false. As pointed out by others, many Americans are actually working abroad as expats, and far outnumber any green card holders working in aviation.
You also implied that flying jobs were currently being offered to any non-citizen who desired to work in the U.S., demonstrating a lack of knowledge of your own country's immigration laws. FYI the legal immigration process is no cake walk...if someone has jumped through the hoops, they most definitely have the legal right to work here.
