Immigration See other Immigration Articles Title: OBAMA TO AMERICAN WORKERS: DROP DEAD! D.A. King Warning to Obama: Another amnesty not the answer Yesterday Congressman Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) introduced legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to reward the hordes of illegal aliens who made it past our Border Patrol Agents with legalization, jobs, public benefits and eventually the right to vote as citizens. With the open borders lobby57;s usual shameless contempt for the intellect of the American people, Gutierrez is calling his bill 60;Comprehensive Immigration Reform for America57;s Security and Prosperity.61; The 2010 battle for repeating the 60;one-time61; amnesty of 1986 has begun. Don57;t expect the legislation to receive nearly as much attention from the media as Tiger Woods57; love life. The hope is that we are too busy to remember that President Obama promised to deliver amnesty as part of his 60;Hope and Change61; election campaign - or to consider that nagging detail about America57;s raging unemployment crisis. The contrived talking point is that legalizing the current batch of job thieves would result in a 60;boon to American workers61; and somehow 60;strengthen our economy.61; I am not making this up. America57;s unemployment rate dipped from 10.2 percent in October to 10 percent in November. Many economists put the actual unemployment rate at 17 percent. Using the most positive figures, about 16 million Americans are out of work. While monitoring CNN last week, I heard a reporter tell viewers that there are at least six applicants for each available job. One pundit puts it this way: 60;Unemployment isn57;t just worse than Obama said it would be with the stimulus. It57;s even worse than he said it would be without the stimulus.61; In addition to his recent 60;jobs summit61; designed to get ideas on how to cut unemployment, the president has publicly promised to pursue 60;every additional and responsible step61; to get America back to work. Except, apparently, to stem the flow of illegal immigration and to remove the black market replacement labor from the workforce. Obama could put about 8 million Americans in jobs next week if he would only enthusiastically enforce existing immigration and employment laws. As a long-time American who studies the organized crime that is illegal immigration - which is directly related to U.S. unemployment (it is also directly related to national security, education, health care, public benefits, wasted tax dollars and the rule of law 70; but that is another column) - let me share some facts Gutierrez and Obama hope you will never see. You are supposed to believe the fairy tale that our borders have been secured. The U.S. Border Patrol apprehended 556,040 new 60;undocumented workers61; illegally crossing our borders in Fiscal Year 2009, which ended Sept. 30. Optimistic official estimates are one in four or five illegal alien border crossers are captured at the border. Do the math. Statistics from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement reveal significant drops in work site enforcement activity since last year. Administrative alien arrests (arrests of illegal aliens who will be placed into deportation proceedings) have dropped 68 percent. Nationwide, criminal arrests are down 60 percent, criminal indictments have fallen 58 percent and criminal convictions are down 63 percent. Revealing his disregard for the American worker, Obama has rescinded the Bush administration57;s common sense 60;No-Match Rule61; in which the Social Security Administration sent letters to employers when employees57; names and Social Security numbers fail to match. The program required employers to take action - including termination - if notified that their employees did not have legal immigration status. So much change 70; in only one year! In a November press release reflecting the view of the majority of Americans, Georgia57;s U.S. Sens. Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson criticized the Obama administration57;s intent to push amnesty this way: 60;Americans want to work; rewarding illegal aliens with the right to hold jobs will not improve the chances Americans have of finding jobs, paying their mortgages, and feeding their families. Therefore, we strongly encourage you to cease any discussion about enacting a legalization program that will only hurt U.S. workers and make it harder for law abiding citizens to weather this economic downturn.61; There will never be a time when another amnesty is the answer, including in the current economic downturn and jobs shortage. The amnesty of 1986 actually increased illegal immigration and illegal employment. It would have the same result today. D.A.

As I have said before, there are at least 50 to 100 million Americans who are unemployable even at the current minimum wage. Technology and automation has progressed to the level at which many tasks once performed by humans are no longer available for humans to draw checks from doing. Add "outsourcing" to that and you have a huge societal mess. There now REALLY ARE tens of millions of useless eaters and capitalism's answer to this is much like Dick Cheney's famous quote, "So?" Robert Reich Confirms Permanent Destruction of Jobs in America
By what standard? Most of those would be kids and elderly, who by definition are not employable the way we think of employment, and no matter that they are not useless. Incorrect. The answer of the free market is "start your own business" or "educate yourself and take up another profession". The free market (aka capitalism) of course, isn't even being asked the question, given as we don't have a free market or capitalism and are instead running, at best, on a heavy mercantilist design and probably more realistically, in a more fascist/socialist economy.

Do you see any of that even remotely being seriously discussed by people capable of implementing it? .... no, unfortunately.
