"Between March 2000 and March 2004, the number of unemployed adult natives and working immigrants (including citizens) rose in tandem by 2.3 million.

" It would be false to conclude that every job filled by an immigrant is lost by a native, Camarota said. But he added that new immigration "almost certainly has reduced job opportunities" for American-born workers and depressed wages."

Republicans and border wussies better grasp the significance of this - and soon!

Hostettler has got his head on straight -- a conservative's conservative.

Decades ago, he said, crops were picked by college students and poor city dwellers
College age kids these days can't find work, there is no longer such a thing called a "Summer Job". The current administration is counting on the constant influx of cheap labor to keep inflation in check and counter the negative effects of massive deficit spending. We have now reached the saturation level and the costs of this policy are now coming due. We get what we pay for.

Can you guess which organization this is?

It's the 535 members of the United States Congress.

Maybe we (the Americans who vote) deserve what we get.

Rep. John Hostettler, R-Ind., chairman of the House Judiciary Committee panel on immigration and border security, called the results astounding and said immigration - legal and illegal - was hurting American workers.

Excellent find! In San Francisco no less!

Americans are sick and tired and we're starting to fight back. The tide is just now turning, I see a big change for America.

Our people who are not "college bound" should be able to get jobs at a decent living wage.

America had slaves (cheap labor!) a couple hundred years ago at the cost of humanity. Shame on these business owners wanting to get rich to the detriment of someone who can't fight back. They just want to get rich and they don't care if it ruins our economy or if it ruins America, so long as they can be rich!!!

OK Einstein. You need a study to prove this?

Too bad in one respect that illegals don't threaten Congressional jobs. There'd be changes to the situation in light speed.
