The flip side, and the reason why the unemployment dropped to 8.1% is that the labor force participation rate just dipped to a new 30 year low of 64.3%.

Related to this is the fact that legal and illegal Mexicans and others from Central America have been returning to the motherland south of the border at rates that exceed the illegals heading north. And its not just illegal aliens heading home: I've read several articles over the last few weeks about young legal Indians and Chinese - some of whom were born here to immigrant parents -- moving to India and China because of the abundance of entrepreneurial opportunities.

I believe a lot of people are deporting, but not enough to show what is happening with the workforce graphs. People are being "magically" removed to artificially drop the unemployment percentage.

Any man who who lie in his autobiography about a compilation girlfriend will do anything. His flunkies in the bls are trying to help, because they think Democrats will be able to keep their salaries and bonuses high. Little do they realize what will happen when our economic system collapses because of government debt.
