I again refer you to the unemployment numbers above. If you think every one of them should have just "moved on" and found a different line of work, then you aren't showing a whole lot of sympathy for your fellow Americans. Some of them would love ot "move on." But temporary and often illegal immigrants are taking those jobs. Why not just stop the illegal immigration? How about limiting the other immigration until the unemployment numbers look better? Or would you rather just ignore the tragedies represented by the numbers in that chart, at Christmas, even?

Well actually I don't have a whole lot of sympathy for those that whine.

Let me give you a more recent example. In 1996 I had a new house built. I had subcontractors for framing and carpentry, roofing, masonry, electrical, concrete and plumbing . Roofing, framing, concrete and masonry were all Anglo owned with mostly Hispanic labor and all came in on budget and schedule. Electrical and Plumbing were both Anglo owned and all labor was Anglo due to licensing requirements. Both contracts went over budget and schedule due to inspection failures at each inspection check point.
