Unemployment (Household Survey Data)

The number of unemployed persons increased by 787,000 to 14.5 million
in May, and the unemployment rate rose to 9.4 percent. Since the start
of the recession in December 2007, the number of unemployed persons has
risen by 7.0 million, and the unemployment rate has grown by 4.5 percent-
age points. (See table A-1.)

Unemployment rates rose in May for adult men (9.8 percent), adult
women (7.5 percent), whites (8.6 percent), and Hispanics (12.7 percent).
The jobless rates for teenagers (22.7 percent) and blacks (14.9 percent)
were little changed over the month. The unemployment rate for Asians was
6.7 percent in May, not seasonally adjusted, up from 3.8 percent a year
earlier. (See tables A-1, A-2, and A-3.)

Among the unemployed, the number of job losers and persons who completed temporary jobs rose by 732,000 in May to 9.5 million. Employment Situation Summary
Sorry but the chicken little theory is no longer valid in the US.

I'm sure Americans will be happy to fill those jobs.

JDuds, its a reality. Its going to happen this time because Americans dont want to prolong it anymore and it looks like deportation is not an option. Ask your politicians, there is no way we can fund 42 billion, for just one state, much less for all 50. On the other hand, if you legalize them, they will be fined, there will be application fees and once legal, they can contribute even more in taxes to our economy. In any issue, money wins.

Sorry for your nightmare.

You are trying so hard to break our spirit as Americans; despite you claiming to be a US citizen, you really do not know us that well at all.

We are slow to anger; once enraged-----------we go berserk---------and, that does not necessarily imply violence either.

This forum is an Illegal Immigration forum. Sorry if it hurts your feelings but I have every right to voice my opinion and my stance on the issue just as well as you do. I am American too and that is something you or anyone else cannot take away from me.

Default LA rally

LA, the city of immigrants, rally for Reform Immigration for America!

BTW, I only see American flags and marchers are not just Latino. They are Caucasian, African American, Asian, etc.

Those illegal immigrants should march for economic reform in their countries of origin. Illegal immigrants marching for immigration reform in America is a joke.

DREAM(ie) on. Your desperation is so apparent, I almost feel sorry for you. If it makes you feel better, keep clicking your heels together and repeating "I am an American" while telling yourself that you know what Americans want. In the meantime, if I were you I'd keep my book bag packed. Don't worry about the travel arrangements, the cost of your one way ticket back to mexico is on me.

From your link:


Supporters weren't the only ones with a message; others came to this vigil to speak out against illegal immigration.
"The people that are coming here illegally do not want to become Americans they want to live here, work here, and earn money here," says Paul Westrum.
Paul Westrum says illegal immigrants cost the country about 68 billion dollars a year, and opponents say it's time for that to stop.
"This is what's causing some of the economic problems we have today, is when you take 68 billion dollars and spend it on people that are here illegally,
it's taking away money from the taxpayers," says Paul Westrum, Against Illegal Imm.

Sorry for your nightmare.

The cost of amnesty: $999 billion.
The cost of attrition by enforcement: as little as $14 billion.
Amnesty would cost up to 70 times as much as enforcing existing law.

“But they are funding the Social Security system!”

The illegal alien lobby frequently touts the statistic that illegal alien workers contribute $7 billion each year to Social Security. They fail to note that for every $1 illegal aliens contribute to Social Security, they withdraw $10 in other government benefits.

Tax Cost of Each Low-Skilled Immigrant Household

Robert Rector and Christine Kim of the Heritage Foundation calculated that an average low-skilled immigrant household costs federal, local, and state governments $19,588 per year more than it pays in all taxes.
