Wed. House Hearing For Amnesty Shows Tin Ear To Needs Of The Jobless

Democratic Leaders of the House Judiciary Committee plan a hearing for Wednesday to examine the "ethical imperative" of granting an amnesty and increasing the number of legal U.S. workers by millions.

We will hope that other Democrats on the committee, as well as the Republicans, will talk about the ethical imperative of putting unemployed Americans back to work.

The hearing is a sign that Congress is far more interested in politics than in the needs of the country.

Why? Well, Democratic Leaders are telling reporters that they hope to use the hearing as a way to put Republicans on the defensive for blocking "comprehensive immigration reform."

Wouldn't it be nice if these particular Democratic Leaders would actually hold a hearing to decide what immigration policy would be best for unemployed American workers? NumbersUSA has been calling for such a hearing for almost two years now.

An ethical immigration policy would stop most immigration until the U-6 unemployment rate came down to at least 9% (currently, it is almost 17%).

It is time for Americans everywhere to speak up for themselves and their unemployed relatives, neighbors and friends. It is time that Americans contact Members of the Judiciary Committee and ask them to pass an ethical bill that would suspend all immigration of foreign workers through Chain, Lottery and unskilled worker categories and to greatly reduce the immigration of the lesser skilled immigration categories.

Illegal aliens are also a threat to our national security! Capitol switchboard toll free numbers are 877-762-8762, 877-851-6437, 877-210-5351, 866-338-1015, 866-220-0044.

Call tomorrow and pour it on!

They are also breaking the law. It’s like if someone came to your house and lived there.

We’re going to have an “ethical imperative” to destroy each lib that votes for this...them, their houses, their wealth...everything.

And we sound insure that NO spawn of a politician is allowed to major in the typical small mind college majors: poli sci, law, sociology, any “studies”, etc. Requiring them to take intellectual subjects will almost totally reduce any chance of them getting a degree.

An ethical immigration policy for 9% and above U-6 is self-deportation. How about that? Now, congresscritters, encourage it!

All you FReepers in LA, FL, TX, and MS - start collecting the tar. I have some feather pillows that I would be willing to sacrifice.

Thanks Man50D.

Jobless people are only necessary until they can be employed to count votes. Once the votes are counted in favor of the oligarchy, they are to be discarded. Possibly destroyed. Definitely ignored.

Huh? By legalizing 30+ million invaders, we are going to put Americans back to work? What are these RATS smoking?

[Tzimisce]

I think Congress knows our feelings on this.

They’re going to do it anyway.

Because then they WILL be American citizens. And in twisted way, should amnesty pass, all the currently “undocumented” jobs become legal... they can then claim that they ‘created’ all those jobs and gave them to ‘Americans.’

I don't believe by EO can make these 30+ million be “citizens” - he may be able to issue an EO giving them amnesty for breaking the law - doesn't make them citizens and in AZ they still have to be “legal” to take a job. The employer stands to loose his business license if he knowingly hires someone illegally in the country - so what would the newly amnestized person offer up as his ID? He won't have a green card, he won't have a SS card (unless he is committing fraud which hasn't been forgiven). I just don't get what boy king thinks he will accomplish with this other than to make everyone angrier than ever.

GREAT OPed in WSJ tonight ------ Obama's Immigration Fakery In 2007, then-Sen. Obama helped derail an immigration bill he claimed to support. He's no more serious about a bipartisan bill today.

This is the same group that believes you have to spend your way out of debt.

[OneWingedShark]

Who said anything about Executive Order?
Isn’t this thread talking about one of the houses of the Congress?

[OneWingedShark]

Perhaps if you were talking about denominations of .50, .45, .38, .357, .22, and so forth...

The debt being saddled on the younger generation is criminal... I wouldn’t condemn them for saying a big “F—ck you” and violently resisting the Government’s demand that they pay/are-responsible-for it. {Any I’m not just saying that because I’m in my late twenties.}
