They're Taking All Our Jobs!

Maybe Arizona is right.
Maybe we need to protect or land, our jobs and our families.
As California's economy teeters on the edge of collapse - one of it's main revenue generating industries seems to be overrun with foreign workers.
Time Magazine states that "20% of Hollywood is Canadian.".
Okay, this may not seem like a big deal but the 12% drop in entertainment industry employment is 60% of the total amount of jobs lost in Los Angeles County.
Sure, Pam Anderson has some tig-ole-(silicon)-bitties but so do many native born American women.
Is Pam taking a job away from some other well endowed American worker?


The Entertainment Industry generates roughly $27bn annually for the state.
Aren't there American women who can sing Country Music as well as Shania Twain?

While the International Boundary is the longest in the world at 5525 miles - one seems to be able to cross from one country to the other with little problem or effort.
Is it fair that Nelly Furtado can make money in the United States but then spend that money in Canada?

Sure, Titanic made a lot of money for James Cameron and Hollywood - but did we really need Celine Dion to scream for, what seemed like, two hours of the film?
Don't we have any qualified screamers here in America?

Yeah, I'm a fan of the Matrix movies - but did Carrie Anne Moss and Keanu Reaves take jobs away from American born actors?
Why do we put up with over a billion dollars annually being injected into our neighbor's economy?
Isn't this just outsourcing American jobs to Vancouver?
Should we really have Alex Trebeck hosting the American game show Jeopardy?
Should Brendan Frasier keep taking roles away from native actors?
Shouldn't we have kicked Corey Haim out of the country before he died of a drug overdose?
Why does Howie Mandel get to give away money on Deal or No Deal instead of a native born American host?
Evangeline Lilly acts on the show Lost, and judging by her country of origin maybe she really is.
