Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday that passing an immigration reform law that would give the estimated 11 million people in the country illegally a pathway to citizenship would be “granting them the dignity and respect they deserve.”

Speaking at the Conference on the Americas on Wednesday in Washington, D.C., Biden told attendees from countries throughout the Western Hemisphere that every nation has to make “tough choices.”

“In the United States, it means reforming our immigration system and 11 million undocumented men, women and children being able to come out of the shadows and be full participants in American life,” Biden said. “Imagine that - the dignity.

“My father would say, ‘it’s all about dignity,” Biden said. “Granting them the dignity and respect they deserve.”

Biden said not doing so would be disrespectful to the people living throughout the Americas....

11 million illegals and their 20 million relatives who will join them and the flood of poor South and Central Americans who are already packing their bags and scraping up the coyote fare to go north where they have been told the government will shower wealth upon them in the form of free food and medical care and housing and obamaphones. Amnesty at this point is essentially granting citizenship to the world’s poor people which may well rapidly convert the USofA into a third world hellhole from which people will be trying to get out to where there is something left to eat.

LOL. That Joe...

“the estimated 11 million people in the country illegally a pathway to citizenship would be “granting them the dignity and respect they deserve.”

That’s the life they chose for themselves, Mr.VP.

Game plan.

Yeah.

They deserve respect and dignity in their home country.

This is a workup I developed with data found here.  http://data.bls.gov/cgi-bin/surveymost?ce

At that page I selected total private employment and government employment, and ran the numbers.  Once inside the report, I expanded it out to a report from 1939 to the present.

I wanted to get fairly traditional reasoned growth numbers, so starting in 1965 when the figures seemed rather settled, I used those figures until the present time to come up with the information supplied above.

From 1961 through 1964, a rather normal work environment as it relates to job growth took form.  Using figures from the jobs report starting in January of 1953 and continuing on every four years conciding with each new or continuing administration, I developed this report that reveals the jobs created each four years.

What prompted this study, was recent media reports that the economy has really turned around.  I like many of you have been asking, "Well yes, but as compared to what?"  Are we merely talking about the stopped hemeraging, or are we talking about returning to a robust economy that is now nearly healed.

On the right I chose to provide a little gauge of where we really stand comparted to what we should traditionally be able to expect as it relates to jobs in our nation.

I took a fairly level ten four year terms of jobs increases from 1965 to 2001.  I then calculated the total growth over the ten periods, and developed a reasoned average we have come to expect on a normal basis.

Then on the right I plugged in that average growth, and from 1965 on, I calculated what we should expect when it comes to jobs held in the United States.

The figures I came up with are not exact, because they don't fluctuate.  None the less, they hold pretty darned close through 2001.  At that point they are about 734,000 jobs off.  Still that's a fairly accurate model to have held up over 40 years, the four year job growth projection from 1961 through 2001.  It's off by only 0.55%.  The prior four year mark in 1997 is only 0.25 - 0.35% off.

For that reason, I think it's a fairly accurate indicator of where our jobs should be today.  How many U. S. Citizens should be employed today?

If you take a look at the figure on the left our government says are employed today, and compare it to what traditional job growth projects say we should have employed, you'll note we're coming up 40 million jobs short.

To put that in perspective, we are employing 77.013% of the people we should be today.  22.987% of our citizens who should have jobs don't.  That's nearly one in four people.  And when you consider how many of our citizens are under-employed, it's a national disgrace.  I wouldn't be shocked at all to learn half our potential workforce is either unemployed or under-employed.  As Yakov Smirnov used to say, "America!  What a country..."

Moving jobs off-shore, allowing citizens of other nations to come here and take jobs when so many U. S. Citizens are unemployed, to have the highest Corporate tax rates in the world, to actually give tax advantages to corporations that employ people off-shore... our leaders have really worked their magic.

So no, in answer to our reasoned questions, Barack Obama and the Leftist swill have not returned our economy to a healthy status.  And no, our Republican cohorts haven't lifted so much as one finger to change that.

And that's the way it is, May 09th, 2013.

bump

[NCDave]

Yes, the numbers keep changing.... Aside from Old Joes’ stupid remark, (don`t think it will pass anyway, shouldn’t) Only give 11 million slots for amnesty, and see how they start howling about that!! It’s been 11 million for 10 years, right? NO AMNESTY! NO CITIZENSHIP! GO HOME!!! Mexicans are only proud of their country when they are NOT IN MEXICO!!! COWARDS AND TRAITORS.

[jonrick46]

Bump!

[dragnet2]

They want Mexicans voting for Democrats more than anything.

It's a bit late for that...

Ya think the GOP is just figuring this out?

To get them on board the GOP, you'd have to offer them a bit more than food stamps, welfare, prizes, free health care, gifts, etc..

How about a new car? 2 years free rent?

[Tennessee Nana]

Yeah yeah

The illegal aliens are as deserving as the dead Moslem terrorist...

Hooray!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allmendream]

According to the law, what they DESERVE is to be deported.

[stephenjohnbanker]

” It’s been 11 million for 10 years, right? “

12 years, and the real number is 20-25 million.

[MWestMom]

I’m pretty tired of being expected to give the rule breakers in life dignity and respect. From the federal government on down.

I’m fatigued by incivility, crassness, ugliness, and crime.

I am exhausted by the effort it takes to try to carve out some type of normal existence in a world where the freakish, carnal, orgiastic is forced upon me from every direction.

I think I’ll go lie down.

[NRA1995]

Squatters don’t deserve dignity

Tolerant and compassionate VP Biden is calling on
Rubio/Schumer to rename the immigration reform bill.
Will now be called:

(Sniffle) "The Ariel Castro Dignity and Respect Bill" (sob)

Rubio/Schumer are adding on the "Tamarlan Tsarnaev
Amendment" to provide free govt pressure cookers, fireworks
and jars of vaseline.....to give Chechneyan immigrants
respect and dignity.
