NAHB has it wrong again!
June 26th, 2007 . by RobertThe NAHB North American Home Builders Association is once again way off base. The NAHB is touted as being the spokesman for American builders but has demonstrated time and again the core philosophy that profit outweighs principle any day of the week. We saw the NAHB turn a blind eye to the threat of the CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) provisions giving unfair advantage to foreign companies entering local building markets. Now the NAHB has it wrong again. With the addition of a single amendment to the ill-conceived immigration reform bill(s) in the Senate (S.1348 and S.1639), the NAHB now endorses the legislation. A single amendment can’t fix a bill that is flawed from inception. History has proven that bad legislation that is dressed up a little to facilitate passage is still bad legislation.
The NAHB operates some programs to assist small builders but ultimately represents those mega builders who profit from low cost immigrant (and illegal immigrant) laborers.
While all this commotion is going on let’s not forget that the NAU (North American Union) is still being fast tracked under the radar and will trump all immigration laws if allowed to go into effect.
