When our forefathers inscribed those immortal words 238 years ago, they understood something we seem to have forgotten: rights may be universal, but responsibility begins at home. The U.S. government does not — and should not — defend the people of France before defending its own citizens. No one expects Connecticut to pave roads in Colorado before fixing its own. And yet, when it comes to the economy, when it comes to jobs, we act as though local loyalty is an outdated relic.
Let’s call it what it is: a betrayal.
For 35 years, our government has allowed corporations to bypass American workers under the guise of necessity. The H-1B visa system was sold as a practical solution: a stopgap to be used when no qualified American could be found. But that’s not how it’s used. Not anymore. Today, companies deliberately design roles for foreign hires, bury job ads in obscure newspapers, and bypass local workers entirely. The same companies that advertise other roles on major platforms like Indeed suddenly become secretive when it comes to H-1B positions. Why? Because it’s not about talent. It’s about control, and cheap, compliant labor.
Let’s look at the numbers. Connecticut’s unemployment is at 3.8%. Underemployment is at 7.1%. That’s over 1 in 10 workers who are unemployed or not fully employed. Are we seriously expected to believe that out of this 11%, not a single New Englander could be trained to fill these roles? Are we really so lacking in imagination, or just so willing to sell out our own?
Capital is not free of obligation. In fact, it carries enormous responsibility , especially to the communities it profits from. We’d never accept a local mechanic dumping oil next to a school. But when corporations dump opportunities and lifelines — jobs — meant for our neighbors, our veterans, our graduates, our struggling families, we shrug. We look away. We pretend it’s all just part of a globalized economy.
Well, it’s not. It’s a moral failure. And it’s time we said so plainly, loudly, and without apology.
So What Can We Do?
Moral outrage means little without action. If we’re serious about reclaiming jobs for our communities and restoring economic dignity for American workers, then both citizens and leaders must act. Not later, but now.
New England Workers:
1. Organize and Speak Out
Join or form worker groups, unions, or civic coalitions. Use social media, op-eds, petitions, and protests to demand that local jobs go to local people. Insist on full transparency in job postings and hiring practices.
2. Vote with your Wallet
Support companies that prioritize hiring Americans. Ask employers directly about their local hiring record. Vote for candidates who commit to labor reform and oppose abuse of the visa system.
3. Document and Report Abuse
If you see jobs posted only in obscure outlets, or roles clearly crafted for visa workers, document it. Report abuses to state labor departments, media outlets, and watchdog organizations. Public pressure works when we apply it.
New England State Representatives:
1. Enact “Local First” Hiring Laws
Introduce legislation requiring employers to publicly post and offer jobs locally for a set period before turning to foreign hires. Add meaningful penalties for failure to comply.
2. Expose the Abusers with Transparency Laws
Force companies to report how they hire.
Where they post jobs. How many locals they interviewed and rejected. Publish it all. Let the public see who's building the community, and who's bleeding it dry.
3. Tie State Money to State Workers
If a company wants tax breaks, subsidies, or contracts from the state, then it must prove it's hiring locally. Period. No more handouts for job exporters. No more taxpayer money for traitors to the local workforce.
This is a line in the sand.
If we continue to let corporations prioritize convenience over country, profit over people, and foreign labor over New Englander’s livelihoods, we shouldn’t be surprised when our communities falter. But if we act with resolve and unity, we can restore fairness, dignity, and economic justice to the New England worker.
The Constitution was written for ourselves and our posterity. Not for outsourced labor. Not for global shareholders. And certainly not for those who would abandon the very people who built this nation.
Let’s start acting like it.
The New England National Party denounces these activities as un-American, and calls for New England workers to demand companies to hire locals first. We stand for economic justice for New Englanders. To join us, visit: www.nenationals.org.
