Apparently all we can do is shout “STOP!, THIEF” as the law looks the other way.

WOW!

More low paying jobs!

I just can’t wait to see the “green jobs” waiting for us. Imagine, you could be competing with an ILLEGAL that doesn’t speak English. They typically own the landscaping jobs ... meanwhile CHINA is eating our lunch with HIGH PAYING jobs in every sector we USED TO EXCEL IN.

Isn’t insanity grand ... ah, at YOUR EXPENSE.

“Only 1 to 2 percent of beauty school graduates will be working in the field five years from graduation”

A typical govt investment.

Students we hire are paying around $19,000 for tuition in Texas. But that’s for a good cosmetology school. I bet these aren’t.

It’s not about jobs, helping people or making sure the economic system doesn’t melt down.....it’s about social justice. All they are doing is basically laundering money. Money to beauty schools, paving roads that don’t need paving.....it’s about wealth distribution!
