Like Reich said, no white guys need apply for these construction jobs.

[FlingWingFlyer]

That’s why the “media” keeps using that cutesy new term, “shovel ready.” I heard one idiot on the radio today say that they could have “shovels in the dirt by April.” I’ve been to construction sites. You don’t see shovels anymore unless someone is using one to prop themself up.

...your socialist government at work

STOP THIS CRAP!!!

Obama wants Illegals to get free health care and kick ass jobs, why, so that they will vote for him again in 2012

[MTMS]

Yeah, my husband is a contractor and the last time I saw anyone use a shovel on a job site was....hmm.... never saw anyone use a shovel on a job site. MSM Dummies

[Doogle]

...now you know why the batboy is in such a hurry to shove this down everybody’s throat, he just signed a bill (schip) that gives illegals health care, you can best believe he wants to give them jobs too..(thus he gets their votes)...and if you don't think he gets their votes now...wait

[FlingWingFlyer]

LOL! I believe it. I think the unions got shovels outlawed because of carpel tunnel injuries and stuff like that.

[org.whodat]

However, the Senate bill deliberately omits this language.

Mccain would never vote for it with that language!!

[Azzurri]

The stimulus bill currently being debated in the Senate deliberately omits the E-Verify provision from the House bill.

Apparently these elites in the Senate will never get the message until waterboarding of US Senators becomes commonplace.

300,000 more union members is all.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

I am sure the Economic Anti-Americans will rush to tell us how “good it is to hire illegal aliens” and that “illegal aliens will do jobs Americans wont do”

Nothing short of treason to take my tax dollars and give it to an illegal alien...while Americans are losing their jobs everyday

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Apparently these elites in the Senate will never get the message until waterboarding of US Senators becomes commonplace.

I vote aye.

>>>>> About one out of seven (or 15 percent) of workers employed in construction in the U.S. is an illegal immigrant.[1] <<<<<<<

I can’t find these numbers in the referenced study (by Camorata of the Center For Immigration Studies), but I presume it to mean 15 percent **generally**.

Based solely on my own observations and anecdotal evidence, I’d guess it to be **80 PERCENT** illegals in the unskilled construction labor category.

BTTT!
