Read the first linked article and then explain to me why our government is on a path to granting more than 11 million illegal immigrants
resident status and a pathway to citizenship. How can this be when,
according to this link, at least 101 million Americans are out of work?
I have seen this number elsewhere and was dubious until I understood
how the numbers were derived and that the source is the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
How come, then, do we get fed misleading statistics every month? Here
is a lift from the article: "According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor
Statistics, there are 11,742,000 working age Americans that are officially unemployed. In addition, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics says that there are 89,967,000
working age Americans that are "not in the labor force". That is a new
all-time record, and that number increased by a whopping 663,000
during the month of March alone." A huge number of those 89,967,000
have given up looking for work and now live on various forms of
government compensation. So, logic says that a goodly number of the 11
million illegal immigrants will push the number of dependents on various
government assistance programs
well over 90 million. This growth in the number of people
relying on government assistance programs cannot continue. A shrinking
tax base cannot sustain this expense nor can the government continue to
borrow to pay these dependency bills along with all the multitude
of other things on which it spends our money. The article next under
lays bare the current state of our economy and it is not at all what the
government is telling us. And the government is about to make it a lot
worse by legitimizing over 11 million more people vying for an ever
shrinking number of jobs. The second link addresses the consequences
that fall from long term unemployment. George Burns
