Press Release Summary = Houston, TX (Sept. 20, 2006) A Houston renter in need of a house and fed up with the loss of American jobs to illegal aliens has launched My Legal House, a website which sells advertising space in a bid to raise cash for a house built without the use of illegal labor.
Press Release Body = The project, started by Jeff Buffett, aims to raise awareness of the illegal immigration crisis by funneling advertising dollars into a modest, well constructed home using only employees authorized to work in the United States.
Mr. Buffett hopes to capitalize on what he says was just another good idea waiting to happen. \"I think this is a great way for owners of businesses who play by the rules to express their support for enforcement of our immigration and labor laws,\" he said.
\"Besides, I need a house,\" he said with a grin.
The idea for the project stems from Mr. Buffett\'s concern for the future job prospects of millions of America\'s youth, who he says will compete directly with illegal aliens for positions when they enter the workforce. As evidence, he points to a new study done by Northeastern University entitled, \"The Impact of New Immigrants on Young Native-Born Workers, 2000-2005,\" which is due to be published by the Center for Immigration Studies on Thursday, Sept. 21 on their website. The study found that when there is an increase of immigrants, it is accompanied by a decline in employment among young native-born workers.
\"Countless American citizens and legal residents have already been forced out of well-paying construction jobs by the flood of illegal entrants and visa overstays,\" he said. \"The unimpeded flow of illegals across our southern border will ensure that our youngest workers suffer the same fate.\"
Asked if he thought there were enough legitimate businesses to fund the project, Mr. Buffett said, \"Well, I think it\'s a safe assumption that Tyson Foods won\'t be buying a brick. I can only hope there are a few honest firms out there who are willing to invest in America\'s future.\"
