It occurred to me upon hearing the latest unemployment figures today, that there are less unemployed persons than there are illegal aliens in the United States. And we know what an impact that many unemployed citizens makes on the country's failing economy. The headlines are constantly touting the "highest on record" unemployment numbers (almost 12% in California).
Wonder if any of our leaders consider what a negative impact illegal aliens are making on the economy? I've heard it poo-poo'ed by government officials that "undocumented workers" are a drop in the bucket. I wonder.

Reason: none
12-20 million vs 14 million, sounds like a straight up swap to me but I am sure an Illegal Alien apologist/crusader will be along to tell us that the unemployed
American deserves it because they are lazy or that the lazy American won't stoop to such levels.

Exactly, since there is no multiplier effect from removing 12-20 Million people.

Maybe it is time to find out via forced mass deportations. If it means 'breaking up families'..............oh well. The USA citizen significant other should have thought about the consequences of sexually touching an illegal alien criminal in the first place.

well the number just went up as i just became unemployed
I was laid off, too, last year, and have been contracting since, although now it's only part-time. It's tough out there.
What gets me is that I've paid taxes in this state for over 30 years, yet I've never gotten any health care or hand outs from the government. I did receive UI benefits for six weeks, but that's it. UI is paid for by the employers. My taxes help pay for illegal aliens' benefits, though. California's budget consists of health, prisons and schools, none of which I use. It's a sad day when people who don't belong here are supported by the legal residents, but get no benefits themselves.
