America needs more jobs.

Period.

Now.

[Ghost of SVR4]

You are a broken record with this stuff. No one disputes the need for jobs but you completely overlook the hostile environment that is America today. The GOP isn’t going to fix anything in their current state as they like the “power” all the varying federal agencies provide them just the same as the democrats. Business will not come back to America until numerous problems are fixed (such as tax burdens, too many regulations to list, too many federal agencies to list, the ACA, unions, etc..). Stomp your feet and copy/pasta the same tripe over and over but nothing will change until we get the socialists and commies out of our government.

We bring in 1.2 million legal immigrants every year and the GOP wants to double the size of the guest worker programs. Who do you think will get those jobs? Immigrants, that's who.

Comparing the number of immigrants working (ages 16 to 65) in the first quarter of 2000 to the number working in the first quarter of 2013 shows an increase of 5.3 million. In contrast, the number of working-age (16 to 65) natives holding a job was 1.3 million fewer in the first quarter 2013 than in 2000, even though the number of working-age natives overall increased by 16.8 million in this time period.
