The Hispanic unemployment rate is second only to that of the African American community, and this problem isn't getting better. We are now into our third year of recent high school graduates AND college graduates stepping out into some serious long term unemployment, and virtually 100% "underemployment" for those who do manage to get jobs.
Today we heard Obama is off having a vacation and when he gets back he'll tell us about his jobs program ~ he knows NO ONE CARES about his "plan".
A very good friend of mine was born in Chihuahua, Mexico, and is a naturalized U.S.citizen. We served together in the Navy. Another friend’s ancestor came to California with the first RC Bishop back in the 18th century. They are no more likely to vote alike than any other American ethnic group.
There is no megalithic block of Hispanic voters, I know that. It isn’t the U.S. citizens of Hispanic ancestry that I worry about; it is voter fraud by illegal aliens perpetrated by Democratic Party operatives in blue states.
Law and order issues combined with jobs, jobs, jobs, is where I hope to see the next election arguments predominate.
Union members still care about his plan, at least where I live. They are trying to build a coal terminal that would involve a constant stream of coal trains along the waterfront, and a huge coal terminal with 80 acres of coal, piled 200 feet tall, all located on wetlands, promising “family wage” jobs and tax revenue.
The problem is that the jobs won’t be in this county and the tax revenue won’t stay here, either. We would get all the negative impact of the coal and none of the benefit, and still the union members are supporting it.
