No need for Islamic terrorists to try to bring down America. We are letting Mexico do a pretty good job of it by allowing this to happen.

He couldn't find a job in 14 states?

Whether the article's unemployed American is real or not the facts as reported by studies such as the labor studies department of Northeastern University say that recent immigrants are getting the jobs.

Not funny if your skill set puts you in competition with the millions of ILLEGAL and legal immigrants coming here annually. Plus there are the H1Bs and L-1s not covered by the report.

NEW REPORT REVEALS NATION'S GROWING DEPENDENCE ON FOREIGN IMMIGRANTS SINCE 2000 After a historical high in the 1990s, the foreign-born make up at least 60 percent of labor force growth between 2000 and 2004

Well, you men and women in uniform are the best America has to offer -- that means you are the tops in the world. When (if) you make it home you will still be tops even if you are unemployed for awhile as you compete with millions and millions who have absolutely no intention of ever becoming Americans.

The report concludes,

" Given the controversial but policy relevant findings on the immigrant role in U.S. labor markets over the past four years and its adverse consequences for younger and less skilled workers, the study calls for a sustained and high level national policy debate over the future role of immigration in U.S. labor markets. This topic should also be a key issue in the Presidential debates this fall."

That was 2004. Well, both candidates avoided the subject. It ain't gong to be avoided in elections from now on. Time to decide, politicos.
