Stopping immigration [legal and illegal] until the economy recovers would be the best thing to do at the moment. We bring in 3 million+ people a year if you count illegal aliens, that is ALOT of jobs Americans could use instead. We are pushing 10% unemployment at the least and that number is not going to drop by bringing in more people every year.
And the immigrants who end up unemployed are supported by the taxpayers, so that is also a net drain on the overall economy that we really dont need. The situation is lose lose for your average American, but win win for cheap labor advocates only. Also the GPD worshippers in Washington win from it to I guess, since they believe sheer numbers will always boost the GPD up [which it does, if they all work, if they are on welfare instead its a drain].
