500,000 Green Cards and work visas each year - many of them low skill - ALL of them competing against home grown Americans.

Double that. 125,000 brand new foreign workers with work permits each month -- HERE'S THE PROOF

I believe your number may not include workers who leave the USA workforce when their visas expire.

Many people at Free Republic support high levels of immigration - but not me.

They often challenge my numbers as being too high.

So, I use the most conservative numbers I can find.

There are entire swaths of the economy in great need of skilled workers, I’m astonished that they can write this report with no reference to that simple fact.http://www.careersinwelding.com/salary_information.php Weber’s original insight into the Protestant work ethic was that it stood in contradistinction to the traditional economic performance of individuals, where , once a comfortable level of creature comfort was attained, the marginal utility of work dropped off sharply. I have only very superficial understanding of that, but it fits the data as far as I’m concerned. Maybe it’s just too hard and dirty to be a welder? When you know you’re not going to starve, plenty of women are around who’ll give sex for not much other than the mutual pleasure and there’s plenty of entertainment to while away the hours?
