You think getting a job now is hard, wait until the illegals get work permits. (employment, 2014)

Although I do question if six million jobs have even been created since 2009. Either way, this will hit the unemployed hard.

President Barack Obama’s unilateral amnesty will quickly add as many foreign workers to the nation’s legal labor force as the total number of new jobs created by his economy since 2009.

The plans, expected to be announced late Nov. 20, will distribute five million work permits to illegal immigrants, and also create a new inflow of foreign college graduates for prestigious salaried jobs, according to press reports.

Obama has already provided or promised almost one million extra work permits to foreigners, while his economy has only added six million jobs since 2009.

Obama’s total of six million extra work permits does not include the normal inflow of legal immigrants.

Each year, the nation accepts one million new immigrants, or roughly five million since 2009. That total includes roughly 3.5 million working-age immigrants, which is slightly less than the number of Americans — 4.3 million — who turn 18 each year.

Also, companies annually hire roughly 450,000 blue-collar guest workers and roughly 200,000 white-collar guest workers. Most of these guest workers stay for less than a year, but many stay for six years.

That current population of roughly 600,000 foreign graduates is expected to increase, if, as reported, Obama’s plan allows American universities to offer green cards to foreign tuition-paying students who will then compete for the well-paying jobs or the prestigious jobs sought by the offspring of the nation’s influential upper middle class.

This will be good.

All those people he is welcoming into the country are really going to yell and cheer when his name is mentioned. He will be very popular.

With work permits comes income taxes. Although that's the only positive thing I have to say about the POTUS's immigration scheme.

This is a very appropriate non-inflammatory post.

This will create a big mess with job prospects from people who will compete with undocumented Hispanics.

I hate to burst your already fragile bubble but most of them won't make enough to have to pay any income taxes, and may even qualify for EITC's.

Ugh. Why did he do this? Is it to get in good with immigrants? I think he's already liked among immigrants. I just scratch my head to what his vision is.

And I also really question why people my age voted for him... AGAIN. I wonder if people just didn't think this through.
