Senator Schumer Proposes Irish Visas for Thousands

Devotees of excessive immigration are not dissuaded by a mere historic economic breakdown leading to the unemployment of 14 million plus Americans, with the ensuing home foreclosures, divorces, families living in cars and general human suffering. The Census informs us that one in two Americans are now poor or low income.

Today’s example of extreme immigration [...]

State Department Limits Onerous Visa Program

The State Department’s program of admitting thousands of foreign college students on the J-1 visa program has been a stab in the back to young Americans looking for a job in a toxic employment environment. The current youth unemployment rate is the highest since World War II, and an August BLS survey reported that more [...]

Mexican Trucks Are Poised to Invade American Highways

The North American Free trade Agreement (NAFTA) was signed into law by President Clinton in late 1993. It was sold by globalists of both parties as a job generator for Americans, but instead whole industries moved to Mexico for the cheaper labor, and a US trade surplus became a trade deficit to Mexico’s benefit (e.g. [...]

Mexican Corruption Observed on Houston Construction Sites

In Texas’ largest city, construction workers are nearly all hispanics, but not because building is job Americans won’t do. On the contrary, Mexicans have somehow taken over those jobs and keep citizens out while demanding bribes (mordida in Spanish) of their countrymen. A man who wants a job has to pay a bribe just to [...]

Formerly Middle-Class Americans Move into Tents

It’s amazing the suffering that goes on in this miserable economy, and how little attention it gets in the American press. The article posted below about middle-aged, formerly middle class people living in tents in New Jersey with cold weather coming on appeared in a British newspaper.

Even so, Washington continues to admit a million legal [...]

Obama Protects Illegal Workers in America

In today’s terrible jobs depression in which over 14 million Americans are officially unemployed, the Obama administration is cruelly upside down in its priorities. In mid-August, the President opened up work permits for illegal aliens in his administrative amnesty program which will add thousands (millions?) to an already flooded labor pool.

On Monday, the Secretary of [...]

Media Honchos Lawyer Up over Illegal Alien Journalist Revelations

The anti-borders media and bloggers have been in a tizzy over an illegal alien journalist, Jose Antonio Vargas, who recently outed himself with details on enabling editors in the New York Times Magazine (My Life as an Undocumented Immigrant).

His NYT piece was the usual formulaic sob story of the American Dream thwarted by the mean [...]

Foreign Student Workers Are Still Welcomed in America

The Energizer Bunnies of open borders over at the State Department have long thought that bringing young foreigners to this country is a swell way to make friends for America on the cheap. In particular, the diplomats like welcoming college students, such as the 20,000 Saudis that the Bush administration promoted. Diplomats don’t worry that [...]

Roy Beck on Washington Journal

It’s good to see Roy Beck, of NumbersUSA, appear on C-SPAN’s morning call-in show. C-SPAN has not been fair over the years to the friends of borders and sovereignty, so their welcoming Roy Beck is a nice change.

Roy used the occasion to emphasize how Congress’ policy of open borders has deeply harmed American workers, something [...]

Black Unemployment Is at Record High

That hopey-changey thing offered by candidate Obama has not worked out so well in actual practice for black Americans. The President feels sure of their loyalty to him no matter what, so he confidently continues to work for a mass amnesty of illegal aliens which would enormously increase an already flooded pool of legal workers.

The [...]

McDonald's Gets One Million Job Applications on One Day

On April 19, the popular restaurant chain held a widely publicized employment day across the country which drew large crowds. Now the figures are in, and the McDonald’s company reports that more than one million job applications were received that day.

What does that tell us about the state of employment in America? Clearly many people [...]

Jobs Picture for Older Workers Is Bleak

The employment outlook for most Americans looks pretty bad, but for those over 50 it is downright grim. Businesses just don’t like to hire older workers, even though they are just as capable as anyone else, and often more so.

The one thing about Obamacare (with the eventual endgame of single-payer) that I thought might be [...]
