America's Jobless


Some Americans and lawmakers make the common error to think that unemployment figures measure people without jobs. Rather, they measure only those people who are actively looking for jobs and have signed up with government unemployment agencies. The potential labor pool is far larger than the government reports because so many people are not in the labor market at all for the following reasons:
  • they were laid off and ran out of unemployment benefits;
  • they stopped work because of illness, injury, pregnancy and they didn't have enough incentive to look for a job or the jobs weren't attractive enough;
  • they failed to find a job for so long that they gave up; or
  • they are disabled (the vast majority of disabled American cannot get a job).

Attrition through Enforcement


Update

Federal Contractors Must Use E-Verify Starting 1/15/09

Thursday, November 13, 2008, 4:11 PM

E-Verify%20logo_1.jpg


U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that Federal contractors and subcontractors will be required to begin using E-Verify starting Jan. 15, 2009 to check their employees’ eligibility to work in the U.S. Companies awarded a contract thereafter will be required to enroll in E-Verify within 30 days and begin using the employment verification system to verify that all new hires and current contract-related employees are work eligible.


Federal contracts awarded and solicitations issued after Jan. 15, 2009 will have a clause inserted requiring E-Verify use if the contract amount is over $100,000, unless it concerns commercially available off-the-shelf items. The same clause will be inserted in subcontracts over $3,000 for services or construction.
Over 92,000 employers currently use E-Verify. During Federal fiscal year 2008, more than 6.6 million employment verification queries were run through E-Verify, which represents 1 out of every 8 hires made in the United States.

La Raza: Losing Jobs to Illegals is 'Not a Concern' of Americans
Friday, November 14, 2008
By Tiffany Gabbay


39336.jpg

Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) appears before the La Raza national convention in July. (AP photo)
Washington (CNSNews.com) – Americans are “not concerned” that they may lose jobs to illegal aliens in a tight job market, according to speakers at a panel discussion conducted Thursday in Washington, D.C., by the National Council of La Raza.

Simon Rosenberg, president and CEO of NDN – formerly the New Democrat Network -- said that Republicans are now “paying a steep price for demonizing Hispanics” in their “anti-immigration rhetoric” – rhetoric that he said created the “fear of losing jobs to undocumented immigrants of Americans.”

Research conducted for La Raza, which describes itself as the “largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the United States,” indicates that Americans are “more concerned” with undocumented immigrants “being able to pay their fair share of taxes,” Rosenberg said, than they are of losing jobs to illegals.


When asked if he still felt that American jobs would not be threatened by undocumented immigrants despite the fact the current unemployment rate is now at a 14-year high of 6.5 percent, Rosenberg told CNSNews.com that he believes undocumented immigrants have taken jobs that Americans “do not want,” but that there “might be” a shift in concern if unemployment rates continue to rise.

David Mermin, a partner at Lake Research Partners, a national public opinion and political strategy research firm hired by La Raza to study American voters, said 62 percent of American voters are now “more interested in converting illegal immigrants into legal taxpayers than deporting them because they might be taking jobs.”

In terms of steps to becoming “legal,” Mermin explained that “paying taxes, passing a criminal background check and learning English” are the most important factors to voters.

La Raza President Janet Murguia, meanwhile, said the fact that Latino voters turned out in unprecedented numbers to support Democratic candidates last week puts the Hispanic vote in the Democrat column – for the moment.

“Democrats can put Latinos in the (blue) column for now, but not forever,” Murguia said, adding -- “They should not rest on their laurels.”

“Latinos are swing voters -- if we don’t see action, we will seek it from somewhere else,” Murguia added.

She said that Democrats “must act on the issues that Americans care about” – including comprehensive immigration reform.

Pollster Mermin said his data revealed a large majority of American voters “broadly support” comprehensive immigration reform -- and that supporters of enforcement-only policies, such as raids on employers, “may be loud, but there aren’t very many of them.”

Mermin said 67 percent of both Obama and McCain voters support a “path to citizenship” for illegal immigrants, compared to just 10 percent of Obama voters and 20 percent of McCain voters who say that illegal immigrants “must leave the country.”

Murguia said that Hispanics “heard directly” from President-elect Obama that he “understood how destructive raids are” and that while she does not expect a moratorium on immigration raids, she does hope for a “vigorous conversation” on immigration to commence with the new administration.

Rosenberg added that American’ attitudes toward race have changed and that Republicans will have to “make peace” with the Hispanic community and work towards immigration reform or they will see their electoral map shift from red to blue “for a generation.”

He added that Americans are “not supportive of amnesty,” but was quick to clarify that comprehensive immigration reform “is not amnesty” in that its provisions expect undocumented immigrants to comply with such rules as paying fines and taxes, “going to the back of the line,” undergoing a “criminal background check” and a lengthy process of naturalization.

When asked if stricter border enforcement should be a part of immigration reform to protect new undocumented immigrants from acquiring jobs, Rosenberg said that strict border enforcement was “always a part of immigration reform” measures that were put forth and would continue to be.

His “advice” to Democrats: “If you want to get re-elected, pass comprehensive immigration reform.”

FedUp at 05:07 AM - November 17, 2008 Where is my comment?

twinkie at 04:23 PM - November 16, 2008 I believe this article to be completely untruthful. Those jobs "Americans won't do" are all jobs that were done by Americans before we were invaded by more than 12 million illegal aliens who would work for lower wages and no benefits. They come from more than 32 countries but the majority of them come from Mexico, one of the 5 richest countrys in the world, that refuses to help their citizens. Their first largest export is Oil and their second is their citizens, who send money back to the country at a rate of more than $50 billion a year. I can only respect those immigrants who have done the paperwork and paid the fees to come here legally. What does LaRaza say to those who are still waiting in line and have not broken our laws?

FedUp at 01:07 PM - November 16, 2008 WHAT HAPPENED TO MY COMMENT??????????

yeshakem at 11:12 AM - November 16, 2008 This group is just another Marxist front group out to usurp our nation for its own sick purposes. They use uneducated, poor hispanics to get power for themselves. Losing jobs is not a problem for American workers???? What a bunch of liars--ask the troops who come home and can't find decent paying work. This group needs to be told to shut up and sit down.

dudeabides at 01:40 AM - November 16, 2008 Nice try, Sr. Rosenberg, 'Spain to me how these jobs in LA are jobs "nobody" wants? Municipal jobs; all retail in most stores; couriers, drivers, including delivery and tow trucks, security (ironic); restaurant; hospital & medical; most janitorial...on and on- what is left? Get with the program..it starts with some low level positions and quickly mushrooms into essentially controlling the marketplace. Thanks, Mayor for handing the keys to the city to Mexicanos and Salvadoreans...technically very ineligible to work here legally. Not concerned? Are you high, or just deluded? http://cnsnews.com/public/content/article.aspx?RsrcID=39335 From a Link at http://worldnetdaily.com

Sign the Petition asking President-Elect Barack Obama to Reject Amnesty

Updated Thursday, November 6, 2008, 4:21 PM

obama1105.jpeg


Please sign our petition asking President-elect Barack Obama to support American workers over illegal aliens by rejecting an illegal alien amnesty.
Illegal aliens take job opportunities away from the most vulnerable Americans in skilled and unskilled positions. To force through an amnesty for illegal aliens would hurt American workers.
It is very important that you both sign the petition and ask your friends to sign it too.
We will present the signed petition to President-elect Barack Obama. Hurry! We must ensure that our new president sponsors a sensible immigration policy!

READERS UPBRAID ME -- Napolitano Has Vehement Critics For Her Lack Of Vigorous Enforcement In Arizona


By Roy Beck, Updated Friday, November 21, 2008, 5:37 PM
picture-21.png
I am surprised at your lack of strong conviction against the proposed Nappy appointment. I live in Phoenix, so I know what damage this typically pandering Lib "gal" has done to this state. We knew how to go after McCain, and rightfully so on this issue, so this muted message (Thursday's blog) is terrible.
-- Alan of Arizona
Whew! I'm getting more blistered than usual by readers because of my blog yesterday.
Many readers are "convicting" me for my lack of strong conviction in saying Pres-Elect Obama could have done worse in choosing Arizona Gov. Napolitano to head up Homeland Security.
Read some of their comments under that blog, and I'm sure more to come at the bottom of this blog.
There is no question that Napolitano established herself as the enemy of most Arizonans who wanted vigorous enforcement against illegal immigration. And you can read about many of her transgressions in the comments section.
I'll be happy to mostly defend my view on Napolitano further down. But first, this .....
TELL OBAMA TEAM WHAT YOU THINK OF NAPOLITANO

Don't stop with telling me what you think. Write directly to the Obama transition team right now about what you think of Gov. Napolitano as the person overseeing enforcement of our immigration laws.
Obama has an immigration page that allows the public to submit ideas about immigration.
http://change.gov/agenda/immigration_agenda/
Click on the SUBMIT YOUR IDEAS link inside the blue box. Then fill in at least the required personal information and your comments. Today, I would suggest you talk primarily about Napolitano.
Yes, I see that a number of you are saying that sending any information to Obama is a wasted effort because of his strong support for virtually open borders. But that was Pres. Bush's position, too. You all hammered him for years. Finally a year ago, he allowed DHS to engage in the strongest immigration enforcement this country has seen since Pres. Eisenhower in the 1950s. Speak up. You never know what political miracles may happen.
I also have read from others of you that you are actually afraid that if you give Pres-Elect Obama your email address something bad will happen to you. Please! Stop the paranoia and become an American again. If you are afraid to send your opinion to the President of the United States, you obviously have given up.
A flurry of postings on Obama's website WILL be noticed. They will be unlikely to stop the nomination but they very well can influence how carefully Napolitano and Obama try to avoid instituting radical ideas.
NAPOLITANO'S TRIAL BY FIRE CAN HELP US

When I said yesterday (picked up by the New York Times) that Obama could have done worse than Napolitano, I was mainly thinking of people he could have picked who have had no experience with immigration and who might blindly follow an open-borders agenda set by ideologues in the White House.
I still believe that it is very important that Napolitano has been through one political fire after another over immigration.
She has been scorched repeatedly when she stood up for the unscruplous Arizona businesses that hire illegal aliens. She constantly tried to survive while straddling the fence between pro-enforcement voters and the anti-enforcement business lobbyists.
This experience should provide some good advice for Obama. I hope she will tell the White House ideologues that they do NOT want to find out how hot the reaction may be across America if he begins to push an amnesty, or begins to push for more H-1B tech workers, or push for higher importation of foreign workers in general.
I hope her experience suggests to her that negating the new enforcement inside DHS could make her a household name across America -- and not at all in a good way.
I know that some people are rooting for Obama to make big mistakes. I am not.
I am rooting for Obama and Napolitano (if she becomes DHS head) to make smart decisions that very well may be different than their gut wishes. It is our job as mobilized citizens to help these leaders avoid costly mistakes that further erode the American attributes we hold most dear and that might result in millions of additional unemployed Americans.
This afternoon, this is what I wrote about my immigration dreams on the Obama website:
American workers (both native-born and immigrants) are losing their jobs by the tens and hundreds of thousands every month. It is time to stop nearly all importing of foreign workers.
Work with Rep. Shuler to pass the SAVE Act to mandate verification of all new hires to keep illegal foreign workers out of jobs.
Work with Congress to put a moratorium on Chain Migration of non-nuclear family. There can be no excuse for bringing in hundreds of thousands of foreign workers through these categories while millions of Americans are looking for jobs and can't find them. Furthermore, the Chain Migration immigrants are allowed in without any regard to their skills, education or whether any employer actually needs or wants them.
Ending Chain Migration and mandating E-Verify would be your fastest, cheapest and most effective jobs program.

Re: READERS UPBRAID ME -- Napolitano Has Vehement Critics For He

From what I have read, Barack Obama is less of a liberal ideologue and much more of a political pragmatist than many liberal Democratic senators. He is sensitive to the direction of the political winds and I think he might even be sincerely sensitive to our concerns if we make them known.
If there is one thing we have learned from the successes of NumbersUSA, it is that we should take every opportunity to contact our elected officials and their appointees. Complaining is good, but be sure to share your complaints with those in power. Contacting the transition team website is a great idea. Our best chance to stop bad legislation may be to keep it from being proposed.
And, giving up because you don't think Obama can be moved is the best way to bring in another 6 million immigrants in the next 4 years and legitimize 12 million who are already here illegally. Some things the government does you can repeal, an immigrant is not one of them.

Re: READERS UPBRAID ME -- Napolitano Has Vehement Critics For He

ROY" How can you say this? "I also have read from others of you that you are actually afraid that if you give Pres-Elect Obama your email address something bad will happen to you. Please! Stop the paranoia and become an American again. If you are afraid to send your opinion to the President of the United States, you obviously have given up." Have you forgotten about Helen Jones-Kelley and how she (a government employee) went after "Joe the Plumber when he was pervied as a threat???" Now it appears that SEVERAL departments in the Ohio Government were looking into Joe's records! Paranoia? I think not, Roy. Prudence would be more like it. I trust this Government about as far as I can throw it! A reckoning is not far off. Regarding illegal immigration: You can not tear asunder the very fabric of our culture (because allowing several clashing cultures to exist and not demanding assimilation, is the very meaning of chaos theory) and expect positive results. To "trust" this Goverment is a fools move.

Comrade Barack is not

Comrade Barack is not interested in our views where more votes for the liberal base are involved.
He'll stand on both sides of the issue as always with no fear of the mainstream media, with tickles up their leg, to question or even begin to vet him and then he'll make his predictable position known just as his new cabinet is being filled with Socialist clowns. He doesn't want our participation, he wants our compliance as he told us in his acceptance speech, "I'm your president as well.".
Is everyone catching on here??

Reid Expects Passage of Amnesty

Tuesday, November 25, 2008, 3:38 PM

reid%201125.jpeg


Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he expects little resistance to an immigration reform package during the next session of Congress. Although Reid said it's not likely to happen in President-elect Barack Obama's first 100 days, it will be brought up.
In an interview with the Gannett News Service, Reid said the first 100 days would be spent on confirmations, appropriations and the repeal of several of George W. Bush's executive orders. But Reid referred to the meeting between Obama and John McCain and how immigration reform was a point of discussion.
"I don't expect much of a fight at all," Reid said in the article.
The Detroit Free Press has the entire Q&A.

Obama Plan Would Save/Create 2.5 Million Jobs -- Much Cheaper IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM Would Save 2.5 Million Jobs


By Roy Beck, Published for Wednesday, November 26, 2008, 12:15 AM
picture-21.png
President-elect Obama should make American workers the top priority, and call for an immediate end to adding foreign workers through Chain Migration and the Visa Lottery.
And he should consider a temporary moratorium on nearly all other worker importation.
The President elect on Nov. 25 called on his 'economic team to think anew and act anew' while creating a stimulus package that he hopes will create 2.5 million jobs during the next two years at a cost of $500 to $700 billion.
But those efforts will be effectively cancelled out by our nation's immigration and visa programs that are currently on auto-pilot to bring in approximately 2.5 million foreign workers into our besieged economy over the next 2 years.
In effect, current immigration policies if left unchanged are scheduled to allow 2.5 million new foreign workers to compete for the 2.5 million new jobs. Is this not an insane policy?
Let me review in case anybody misses the incredible juxtoposition of these two numbers:
  • Mr. Obama announced a plan costing hundreds of billions of dollars that he hopes will put 2.5 million Americans to work over the next 2 years.
  • Current immigration and visa policies are on auto-pilot so that during those same 2 years the government would bring in at least 2.5 million MORE foreign workers.
Will our government spend all of this money just so it can have just enough jobs for the new foreign workers it will bring in?
If we were to put a moratorium on all worker visas and immigration (except for nuclear family and refugees), we would achieve the same result as Obama's program but at not even 1% of the cost!
At a minimum, Chain Migration and Lottery visas should be suspended immediately. so that unemployed Americans can at least have a shot and some of the jobs the Obama Administration proposes to create."
Check out the links to learn more about the irrational Chain Migration and Lottery categories. The great civil rights champion Barbara Jordan and her bi-partisan national commission a decade ago recommended eliminating both categories as an act of economic justice toward vulnerable Americans who are unemployed or who work for very low wages.
Please go to the NumbersUSA Action Buffet and send free faxes that promote the elimination of Chain Migration and the Visa Lottery. This should be a jobs program all of us can agree on.

Re: Obama Plan Would Save/Create 2.5 Million Jobs -- Much Cheape

Roy, I have to tell you...I think you are living la la land! The politicians don't care about your ideas nor the negative effect illegal immigration has and will continue to have on this country! You think the liberals won't shove amnesty down our throats? They see potentially 20 million votes as low hanging fruit that will possibly keep their rear ends in power for decades. Do you really think that Washington cares a wit about the rule of law, or chain migration or for that matter, you?? This is about votes and money big guy! Patriotism has taken a hike and all that matters to politicians is putting into law those bills that get them re-elected (amnesty)!! So...I ask again, what land do you call home? Surly you see what is happening in this country. Surly you see that the political cry for multiculturalism is the death nell for what we know as America. The statistics pointing to the negative impact on the economy and the culture regarding illegal immigration are very clear. Then why do you think that the Democrats will give amnesty within a year of taking over? POWER! GREED! MONEY! Politicians care less about this country than anybody else living here!! Their only concern is re-election and staying in power. As soon as they hit Washington, their character and integrity vanish!! http://www.numbersusa.com/content/n...obama-plan-would-savecreate-25-million-j.html

Ohio bill calls for English-only CDL tests

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

November 25, 2008 Ohio bill calls for English-only CDL tests

With about five weeks remaining until the Ohio General Assembly adjourns, one bill could still draw consideration. It would require aspiring truck drivers to have a firm grasp of the English language to obtain a commercial driver’s license.

Sponsored by Rep. William Batchelder, R-Medina, the measure would require the state’s CDL test to be given entirely in English.

Since the fall of 2007, Ohio has allowed the written part of the test to be given in Spanish. Interpreters are allowed to assist applicants who don’t speak English. However, the driving portion of the test is required to be English-only.

Batchelder said the bill is about more than being able to speak English.

“When you have truck drivers that do not speak or understand English, safety concerns increase as it is difficult for them to read and understand road signs in English,” he said in a written statement.

Others point out that federal regulations require applicants to be able to “read and speak the English language sufficiently” to get a CDL.

Opponents say there are no studies that suggest English proficiency makes better drivers. They also voice concern that adopting the strict standards would push certain trucking companies to go “underground” to hire people to sit behind the wheel of trucks.

The bill – HB409 – is awaiting consideration on the House floor. If approved there, it would advance to the Senate for further consideration. All legislation must be approved by both chambers prior to the end of the regular session, which is scheduled for Dec. 31.

Grassfire Petition-Free Ramos & Compean

Sign The Petition To Save Border Patrol Agents Ramos And Compean - Stop This Injustice

<SCRIPT>if("Digger" != "Digger" && "Digger" != "Digger") { var dname=("Digger"!="")?"Digger":"Digger"; document.write('<table width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td class="byline">By Guest Author '+dname+'</td></tr></table>');}else { var dname=("Digger"!="")?"Digger":"Digger"; document.write('<table width=100% cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr><td class="byline">By '+dname+'</td></tr></table>');}</SCRIPT><TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD class=byline>By Digger</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

Two Border Patrol Agents have been found guilty of numerous charges as if they were criminals for attempting to apprehend a criminal drug smuggler at the Mexican border. Here's a little background on what happened.
http://www.grassfire.org/142/petition.asp
San Bernardino County Sun

Ramos, 37, and Compean, 28, were convicted of assault with serious bodily injury, assault with a deadly weapon, discharge of a firearm in relation to a crime of violence and a civil-rights violation. Aldrete-Davila, the Mexican the agents were pursuing, was in possession of more than $1 million worth of marijuana, which he had brought into the United States through the small town of Fabens, Texas.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Deborah Kanof, who successfully prosecuted both men, argued during the trial that it was not the agents' job to pursue Davila in the first place.

They face a minimum mandatory sentence of 10 years with a recommendation of 20 years.
They ended up wounding this criminal in the chase after he turned on one of the agents with what looked like a gun and he was fired upon and hit in the rear end. After he escaped to Mexico a US Department of Homeland Security Investigator hunted down this criminal, not to arrest him, but to give him immunity if he testified against the Border Patrol Agents that shot him.
Can you believe that? It was never discovered if what was brandished at the agents was indeed a gun, but it is quite possible in my opinion. The fact that these two were doing their jobs and trying to stop drug smuggling and then being convicted on criminal charges for doing their jobs is a travesty and every American should be outraged.
On top of this the criminal, Aldrete-Davila, is now suing the US for $5 million dollars for violating his civil rights. His civil rights to smuggle drugs.
What kind of message are we sending to law enforcement? That if you try to do your job you could potentially be put away in jail for a long time? Where do I sign up!
Here's what you can do to help. Grassfire.org has set up a petition that is being sent to Congress urging President Bush to pardon these two of their convictions. They're trying to receive 100,000 signatures before they send it on. They currently have over 63,000 as of this writing.
The petition is here. Go sign it now and please forward this information and petition on to all that you know.

YES, I CALLED!
I can definitely commit to placing this call
I MIGHT be able to call-I'll tell you later

If you can, call a local office first, then the Washington, D.C. office. Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121.

Please be firm, but courteous. Direct your frustrations at Senator McCain, not your Senator's staffer (many of whom agree with us).

Tell the staffer:

(1) You were outraged to read Majority Leader Reid's interview in the Detroit Free Press where he boasted that Senator McCain was going to help lead another attempt to give amnesty to businesses that hire illegal aliens and allow illegal workers to stay in their jobs.

(2) Senator McCain's brief conversion to an immigration enforcement strategy during the campaign was not enough to overcome his history of pandering to the open borders lobby and cheap labor special interests. Now that the campaign is over, McCain is once again leading Republicans into another battle over amnesty.

(3) Most Republican Senators thoroughly rejected McCain's war on workers in 2007. Hopefully, they will stand up for workers - and against McCain's immigration proposals - again in 2009.
See Roy's blog for more information on what Congress should do next year. Roy says, "Current immigration policies, if left unchanged, are scheduled to allow 2.4 million new foreign workers to compete for the 2.5 million jobs that President-elect Obama has pledged to protect." Immigration numbers should be lowered, not increased.

Talking Points

Talking point: Senator McCain's "comprehensive immigration" plan would permanently remove about 7 million job opportunities for unemployed Americans by letting illegal workers remain in those jobs.

Talking point: More than 10 million Americans are officially out of work, yet Congress� current immigration policy will add another 2.4 million foreign workers over the next two years � and that doesn�t include the 7 million illegal workers that would be allowed to permanently tie up 7 million U.S. jobs if Congress passes a comprehensive amnesty for businesses that hire illegal workers.
