I finally got my chance to get a formal hearing before Members of Congress on Thursday for NumbersUSA's year-long argument that U.S. unemployment requires deep, immediate cuts in immigration. I let the key numbers do the talking. Do you know them? Take a look at the top three . . .

Libertarians: Can You Help CATO Come To Its Senses (not enough high school dropouts in U.S.?)

beckr — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:17:32 -0500

CATO Institute's Dan Griswold suggests that the U.S. faces a crisis in filling lower skilled jobs because we aren't producing as many high school dropouts as in the past. Perhaps somebody could explain to him that we have around 2 million native-born high school dropouts who are actively looking for a job and can't find one -- and another 7 million who have dropped out of the job market altogether.

Clinton, Napolitano & Other Insane Arguments Last Week for More Foreign Workers

beckr — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:19:41 -0500

Examples of insanity from just last week that further prove U.S. leaders don't understand the pain of 10.2% unemployment: (a) Sec. of State Clinton went to the Philippines to promise to bring more of its workers to compete with Americans. (b) Top U.S. immigration official Napolitano claims her enforcement is working against illegal immigration and, thus, the nation needs to bring in more foreign workers BECAUSE THE U.S. ECONOMY IS SO BAD! And more . . .

Veterans Are Virtually Only Americans With a National Organization Opposing Giving Away Jobs to More Foreign Workers

beckr — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 22:53:45 -0500

Happy Veterans Day. At least, we veterans have our own organization, the American Legion, which does NOT lobby for more foreign workers to take our jobs. But if you own a business, or are in a union, or are a member of a religious organization or a civil rights group, your leaders likely are working every day to give your job to more foreign workers. On this Veterans Day, I have to ask the nation's elites, "Whose side are you on?"

With 10.2% Unemployment, These Groups Are Lobbying For More Foreign Workers (give them a call)

Every month, we get terrible unemployment news. And every month, I must call on Americans to force the nation's elite leaders to answer why they insist on importing 125,000 working-age foreign citizens each month. If you are associated with the following groups, you need to ask your leaders to stop assaulting the unemployed Americans in their membership. SEE THE LIST . . . .

Van Esser — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:00:00 -0500

In a last ditch effort to undermine Arizona’s mandatory E-Verify law for employers, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a coalition of business and open-border groups have asked the U.S. Supreme Court to determine whether Arizona’s law is preempted by federal law. The case, if taken up by the Court, could have ramifications for other state and local enforcement laws as well.

House Rules Comm. Caving to Hispanic Caucus -- Illegals Allowed in Healthcare Plan

beckr — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 21:41:59 -0500

The Associated Press has just reported that, after the Hispanic Caucus confronted Pres. Obama at the White House this afternoon, the chair of the House Rules Committee indicated she is giving the Caucus what it wants: She indicated that the House will have to vote on a bill that allows illegal aliens to use the new health care "exchange" and that does not require verification to keep illegal aliens out of the other parts of the proposed new federal health care system.
