    It's the Democrat way!!

    Democrats like bureaucracy, big government, spending & junkets for special interests which are mostly involving lobbyists & campaign conglomerates who supported them. Being liberal, they love establishing huge social reform programs to appease the unions & masses of the voting and soon-will-be-voting contingent which include illegal immigrants and people who are sucking the welfare teat indefinitely.

    DEMOCRATS DON’T SUPPORT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING

    Nobody would be added to the national workforce if the illegals are legalized.

    No new people would enter the country under this immigration bill.

    The illegals would continue to work, as they are doing now, with the only

    difference that most of them would now become legalized and so now they

    would pay Social Security taxes, city/state/federal taxes from their paychecks

    (on-the-books) like you and I do.

    The only people who are unemployed in the USA are people who do not WANT to work, or who have specialized educations and refuse to take work outside their "field"...

    There are still millions of jobs in the USA that need filling, THAT is why many Democrats (and most sane Republicans) support "adding millions of new workers to the national workforce"...

    Are you an actual Republican, or are you just a troll who PLAYS a conservative on Yahoo!Answers?

    Why don't you explain to us how to grow a business by hiring FEWER workers?

    It would be nice if the democrats would actually add millions of jobs to the economy. But that is not how they can increase their voter base, adding to the unemployment lines is how they increase their power. Nice try Binky but you, along with your party, are a miserable failure.

    They aren't new, they would have had to have been here thirteen years, and pay a fine, so they've already been working, and in fact in some places, they are businessmen.

    Because businesses are saying they cant find workers to fill the positions they have.

    'new workers'? You erroneously assume millions of these folks aren't already working.
