Hard to have jobs when refugees are flooding our nation and jobs going overseas. When is the last time you went to a low end store and bought American items......it's China or India in big letters.
Not only that but stats show that most new jobs are going to "immigrants" not Americans. Many of them are here for the freebies and not for work. Both scenarios are impacting the American tax payer negatively.
Still waiting for the GOP controlled Congress to start presenting their job growth Bills, when can we expect to see them or even a viable budget bill? Oh wait, the Government does not create jobs or it seems budgets for the government.
I guess Mitt Romney's increasing H1B's and doing nothing to stop illegal immigration would have helped this situation......
Both parties in government are beholden to big money and big corps..they talk about jobs for the little people but their policies show that their concern is the opposite..making rich people richer and staying in power because of it.
How could Romney stop illegal immigration? He isn't a congressman. His ideas as president would have put a dent in it though by removing the incentives for them to remain here or to keep coming here.
Lowest labor force participation rate in 37 years:
"The labor force participation rate dropped once more, from 62.8% to 62.7%, a level seen back in February 1978, even as the BLS reported that the entire labor force actually declined for the second consecutive month, down almost 100K in March to 156,906."
Come on now, don't p iss in the koolaid drinkers bowl as they don't want to hear how the numbers are not reflective of anything negative.
I have actually read some of them saying this has been an astonishing recovery, the best since FDR's.
Where they get this from is the complicit media playing up the good, conflating certain positive things, while ignoring other factors.
Heck the liberal financial whiz Mort Zuckerman regularly points out how this has been the slowest and worst recovery he has witnessed, but why let that spoil the (D) zealots party.

Oh, so the answer to the jobs lost to illegals and H1b's is really in welfare reform, because that's why they come here...
...in other words, he'd have done zilch to change the status quo. Thanks for the answer.

There were several dozen such bills that were passed by the House and presented to the Senate last term, which Harry Reid obstructed from even coming up for debate. If the Democrats will allow the Senate to proceed quickly on some of the other matters in the queue, then you can expect to see some of these matters taken up this term.
Of course the Democrats in the Senate may decide to filibuster. And even if these bills are passed, Obama will probably veto them, as they will be market oriented and not something that is focused like a laser-beam on providing some specific pay-off or political advantage to Democratic patrons or campaign efforts.

Let me guess..tax cuts on the wealthy, repeal Obamacare, repeal Dodd Frank...those are their "job growth" bills.

No point getting into it with you, because if it is not a tax increase, a bailout, a handout, or a gargantuan debt-funded "stimulus" program of some sort, leftists such as yourself will be opposed to it.
