Why are there so many jobs now but not yesterday or tomorrow?

For the past 6 years we have been begging for jobs. We have heard politicians say we need new jobs to get American workers back to work. We have had millions of workers on unemployment most of whom have run out of benefits and still can not find jobs.

So why then are we being told we need to give amnesty to 11 million illegal aliens as we need workers in the states? Why are Democrats saying every state Governor in support of amnesty for illegals needs to be doing everything they can to recruit these illegals to fill the jobs going unfilled in their states.

Statistics show approximately 32% of these illegals have no education of marketable skills. Giving them amnesty will only make them eligible for many of the social benefits they are illegally drawing now and put an even greater strain on our social, financial systems and our quality of life. So where are all these jobs that the governors need to be filling? I need one of them!

    For years during the early part of the Obama administration Republicans were telling us (via radical right wing radio and TV talk shows (Hannity, Limbaugh, Huckabee and others) that this is no time to start a new business expand a business or be hiring new employees. That was one of the major hold ups in getting the jobs we needed to get America back to work; a total negative mind set that held up any national recovery. Our unemployment continued on for roughly five years until around 6 months ago when we saw some improvement - BUT - there remains millions of Americans who are still unemployed and seeking work.

    We are now being told we need amnesty for the illegals to fill the jobs the employers can not find workers for. Where are all these jobs? Where are these employers who are having problems finding applicants?

    The fact is the Government is trying to -Brain Wash- the American people into thinking our problem is now a lack of workers and the U.S. needs the illegals to fill the jobs. They are using the same techniques Ford Motor, Chrysler, General Motors and all other big corporations use to sell their products; use massive media to spread the word regardless of the facts- do it enough and people will believe it - true or not. The government wants us to believe we need these illegals - if that was so why does our unemployment rate remain so high. If the jobs are there why are the local, state and federal employment services not having pages and pages of job listings?

    I hope the American people are smart enough to see through this ploy! The intent is to convince the American people we need the illegals. The fact is 30% of the illegals lack any level of basic education and are incapable of doing even mediocre work. They will not be able to work, will end up on welfare, food stamps and be getting free medical service at the tax payers and property owners expense. Many will even be able to apply for Earned Income rebates from the IRS on their income taxes!

    Everyone needs to be sure they have let their elected officials know we can not afford Amnesty for these illegals and America will not stand by while we give away jobs to people who have chosen to ignore our laws - and while we have millions of Americans still looking for work - and we will have military members coming home with no jobs available for them!

  • Many employers are greedy tyrants and undocumented workers are easier for them to use and abuse than Americans are. Governments don't do anything about them because they have uses for them as well. Greeks are called all kinds of names by the back-stabbing and traitorous lame-stream media because they are in the process of taking their jobs and country back.
