White House Claims ‘Stimulus’ Saved/Created 650,000 Jobs (but it imported 1,125,000 foreign workers at same time)

A few minutes ago, the White House issued a new report claiming that the Stimulus Bill earlier this year has created or saved approximately 650,000 U.S. jobs. Unfortunately, another government program — immigration — completely wiped out any overall benefit the stimulus jobs could have been for the American working man and woman. All of … Continued

Immigration Enforcement DOES Belong in Senate Floor Debate About Unemployment Payments

Sen. Durbin (D-Ill.) last night and today is once again using his leadership position to make false claims about E-Verify’s reliability and to project the absolutely foolish notion that unemployment and immigration have no relationship. But while he laments the 125,000 who have recently lost their unemployment benefits (I do, too), he ignores the fact … Continued

Faulty and Superficial Study From Immigration Lawyers Lobby

As an undergraduate economics major with one year to go, I am amazed at the amateurish analysis contained in a new study by an immigration lawyers group that contends that immigration rates in an area have no connection to unemployment.

If Congress won’t reduce new foreign workers to help jobless Americans, how about to help jobless immigrants?

Immigrant unemployment is now soaring. During 18 months of recession as millions of Americans lost jobs, Congress has resolutely refused to reduce immigration and the importation of foreign workers. Scores of our elected officials appear to feel much more obligation to immigrants than to vulnerable Americans among their constituents. Now, a new study shows that … Continued

At Postville Raid Anniversary, Religious Leaders Make Mockery of Their Faith & Ethics

The intellectual bankruptcy and juvenile morality of trendy open-borders clergy is on an embarrassing public display during events marking the first anniversary of ICE raids of the Postville, Iowa kosher meatpacking plant.  Many of these are the same clergy who remained silent for years as the meatpacking plant physically endangered its workers and violated child … Continued

New No. 2 on Senate Judiciary Has An Impressive Sensitivity for the Struggling U.S. Worker

When I walked into Sen. Jeff Sessions’ office several years ago for my first one-on-one visit with him, I knew we could count on him to be a full champion for the rule of law in matters of immigration. But I wanted to persuade him that it was just as important to change immigration policy … Continued

Immigrant Inventors, Valedictorians & Spree Killers — The Inadequacies of Policy by Anecdote

Jiverly Wong, who murdered 13 people in Binghamton on Friday, reportedly was an ethnic Chinese immigrant from Vietnam who seethed from his difficulty in assimilating to America. Does this provide evidence of something special about Chinese immigrants, or Vietnamese immigrants or immigration policies? No, not any more than if Wong had been one of the … Continued

There are now 13.2 million Americans looking for a job who can’t find even a part-time job. Yet, many of the nation’s richest … Continued
