The British are coming. The British are coming. And, so are the Germans and hoards of people from other European countries. Despite the fact that we won the war against these people decades ago, these foreigners are buying everything with their overvalued Euros, Pounds, Rupees and Loonies.Just because the Pound is worth more than $2 and the Euro is valued at almost $1.50, does not mean we should allow these people to cross our borders unimpeded. I was prepared to turn a blind eye when they chartered planes to pick up cheap American jeans, shoes, CDs and iPods, but when these foreigners decided to invest in real estate—and take the homes of hard-working Americans— I decided to put my foot down and speak up.
The Guardian reports that 20 percent of US real estate agents have sold a home to a foreign buyer in the past year—many of them English. Now, the Brits are using their strong pound to invest in American businesses. If we don’t take action now, they’ll take over our shopping centers, force us to drink tea, eat fish and chips and spell color with a U.
While we need to worry about the British, we must fear the Germans. Half a century after Pearl Harbor, the Germans are looking to replace American businesses with German Enterprises.
Preparing for the worst, I read in Der Spiegal that Airbus and Volkswagen are planning to build factories in the United States. And, to make matters worse, these companies are not even trying to hide behind their intentions.
“Our scouts are looking intensively for possible sites in the US and Mexico,” said Jochen Heizmann, VW's head of production. Why, do they want to make car and planes here? Because Americans are cheap to employ. The Center for Automotive Research says American autoworkers make $10 per hour less than their Western European colleagues.
The Germans got more good news from Bradley S. Klapper, a journalist with the Associated Press. Reporting in the North Carolina Times, Klapper, quotes a U.N report which states that American workers stay longer in the office, at the factory or on the farm than their counterparts in Europe. They also get more done per hour than everyone but the Norwegians. With news like this, companies from third-world countries will be climbing over our fences to invest their Afghanis, Lekes, Renminbis and Dinars.
But, Fortune magazine, a true friend of the American worker, refuses to report this nonsense. Instead, senior editor-at-large, Geoff Colvin, says: “Americans are lazy and getting lazier. People with jobs are working fewer hours.”
This country needs more people like Colvin who are willing to speak up against foreigners and do what it takes to keep America American—even if it means disregarding the numbers brought to us by the United Nations.
