"A failure of thousands of businesses causing unemployment to reach a record high"
You've been buying into the DNC's crap for too long.
The rate of unemployment in the U.S. stood at nearly 10% in 1982, the absolute highest rate during the Bush administration has been 6%, hardly a "record high".
Get your facts straight.
We have an ineffective and weak willed Republican majority that can't even put through judicial nominees.
You have a very vocal and outraged elements being whipped into a frenzy by the likes of pat buchanan all screaming to prevent this.
On the flip side you have a platoon of Democratic nominees all deciding that this program isn't enough and a Democratic minority that will do everything they can to push this toward amnesty.
It is very likely that in the end we will end up with...the status quo.
