Thanks for your research.
I understand that among our many government departments, not one is bothering to check how many Americans have lost their jobs to offshoring/outsourcing/visa-workers.
I mention it here because I think that Bush's Amnesty plan is really just a smoke-screen to allowing foreigners (no limits) into our country for employment. This must delight all of his close friends and family in Corporate America, as it means lower wages across the board for every hard-working American.

Your welcome.

Those numbers will never be tracked by the Government. They don't want the public to know how many jobs are being lost.

I agree, Bush just wants to import cheap labor for his corporate friends and of course, pick up a vote or two.

You have the smoke and mirrors right. Treas Sec Snow promised (bet his reputation on it, he did -- LOL, what reputation?) huge new job creation this year. What better way to pump up the BLS (or is that now "Workforce Security") numbers than to have all those off the books jobs suddenly start showing up in the stats. Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
