More Jobs, Not More Science Fiction!

Now that Republicans will assume control of our lower house of Congress, expect more fictional legislation about the need to create more jobs. Republicans are not serious about protecting the American workforce. If they were they would focus on limiting the number of jobs being outsourced, not trying to "secure our borders" to protect landscaping jobs for Americans. According to today's LA Times:

The number of illegal immigrants crossing into the U.S. is down by more than 50% from five years ago, to about 300,000 a year, according to a Pew Hispanic Center report released in September. That is less than the 400,000 people deported each year.

And did you know that Killing in LA drops to 1967 levels. Immigration is down and cities such as Los Angeles with large numbers of immigrants are safe.

C'mon unemployed Americans, if you lost your job to an undocumented worker, it's your fault. You should have studied more in high school and maybe even gone to college.

But according to Texas Republican, Lamar Smith:

"We could free up millions of jobs for Americans and legal immigrants if we enforced our immigration laws against illegal workers..."

Do you really want a roofing job in Arizona? C'mon Congressman Smith, help Americans secure good paying white collar jobs.
