Study: All Employment Growth Since 2000 Went to Immigrants

#1  Because the native-born population grew significantly, but the number working actually fell, there were 17 million more working-age natives not working in the first quarter of 2014 than in 2000.

It's working, comrades.

#2  Nobody hires citizens - just slanders their skill set.
Posted by: 3dc || 06/27/2014 15:37 Comments || Top||

#3  Many of our "native" unemployed are enjoying a limited-downside vacation on the pubic teat. They are not stupid, knowing how to do the math and opportunity cost analysis (although I doubt many call it that.), arriving at the fact that there are some jobs Americans will not do (because they don't have to.).

It is easier on the governments down south to export their problems than it is to correct them, and it is not like we are getting the "Best and Brightest" Mexico and South America have to offer. We are importing the poorest and least educated = most government dependent (sound familiar Detroit?).

An unhappy and hopeless Hispanic or any other populace at some point would begin to demand change in unambiguous terms. If you don't believe me, query Homeland Security.

Pelosi to travel to border, meet detained minors
[DYN.POLITICO] House Minority Leader Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
will travel to the southern border of the U.S. on Saturday to be briefed by Customs and Border Protection on the flood of unaccompanied minors entering the country.

The Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, Democrat will also meet with a group of children held at the South Texas Detention Facility.

"The humanitarian crisis unfolding across our nation's southern border demands Congress come together and find thoughtful, compassionate and bipartisan solutions," Pelosi said. "We must ensure our laws are fully enforced, so that due process is provided to unaccompanied children and the safety and well-being of unaccompanied children is protected. We must also work to address the root causes of the problem."

(Also on POLITICO: Gutierrez: Immigration reform prospects dead)

More than 50,000 unaccompanied children from central America have crossed the border into the United States since last October, but federal law says the U.S. cannot immediately turn the minors away if they are from non-contiguous countries such as Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala.

The rush of children has turned into a crisis for Customs and Border Protection, which does not have the capacity to house the children for the 72 hours before they are transferred to the Department of Health and Human Services to await an immigration hearing.

Pelosi will be joined by Democratic Reps. Filemon Vela of Texas, Rubén E. Hinojosa of Texas and Steven Horsford of Nevada. Hinojosa is the chairman of the Chairman, Congressional Hispanic Caucus and Vela sits on the House Homeland Security Committee.

#3  The Texas Ranger Division is a major division within the Texas Department of Public Safety with lead criminal investigative responsibility for the following: major incident crime investigations, unsolved crime/serial crime investigations, public corruption investigations, officer involved shooting investigations, and border security operations.

The Texas Rangers currently coordinate border security operations through six (6) Joint Operations and Intelligence Centers (JOICs) along the Texas-Mexico border and Coastal Bend area of the state. In response to legislation, the Texas Rangers created a Public Corruption Unit and an Unsolved Crimes Investigation Program.

Austin Headquarters: (512) 424-2000

Call the Texas Rangers and ask them to file charges on Pelosi and her accomplices when they arrive in Texas Saturday for immigration law violations and their support of immigration law violations.

#4  Odd, the illegals aren't voters or donors.

No, but they will be. They just need to be taught who their benefactors are. To quote LBJ, "I'll have those ${REDACTED}s voting Democratic for the next two hundred years".

#5  Just imagine ( imagine it like you were there ) old Pelosi cuddling and holding and groping all those children. Don't you wish Pelosi would have a chance to hold and touch and kiss your kids?

#7  I googled: "What is Nancy Pelosi's worth?" I got a variety of answers such as "Not much," "Zip," "Squat," and $100,000,000.

#10  How about traveling over to the IRS and kicking some arse ?

Watergate was an attack by Politicians on Politicians. This is about a Government attack on its Citizens. IF and WHEN and UNTIL she is arrested we can assume it is all theatre. IRS cut ties with Sonasoft almost immediately after Lois Lerner scandal broke.

#11  My guess is Nancy will have to get at least close enough to some of these children for a photo op. Loyal and reliable border officials will screen a handful of photogenic kids for communicable diseases, provide them with nice clothes and comb their hair. Expect to see the pix tonight on the evening news. Because it's all about the children. Right, Nancy?

#13  Just making sure her product is being cared for; gotta get them to her district before the grapes ripen. Disgusting 21st century flesh traders.
