"U6." No, it isn't a new version of an Irish rock group. It is the more complete look at the victims of unemployment. These are the people who would most benefit from the expanded use of E-Verify to open up jobs held by illegal aliens. Let's make sure that Pelosi, Reid and Obama look at the 25 million American victims before they choose to once again favor illegal aliens for U.S. jobs. The unemployment figures you usually hear are about Americans who are looking for a full-time job right now and who can't find any kind of work.
But more and more commentators are using the federal government's U-6 Unemployment Rate. It also counts what it calls "Discouraged Workers," "Other Marginally Attached" and people who are forced to work part-time but who are looking for full-time work.
About 25 million Americans were counted as U-6 unemployed at the beginning of the summer -- 15.9%.
House Speaker Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Reid are said to be planning this month to continue to put 8 million illegal foreign workers ahead of those U-6 unemployed Americans.
The Senate-passed Homeland Security spending bill includes several provisions that would drive hundreds of thousands -- if not a few million -- illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs over the next year and make them available to Americans.
Pelosi and Reid stripped those provisions from the Stimulus Bill in February and are expected to try to do it again with this bill.
25 million U-6 unemployed Americans deserve better.
I beg all of you to help us continue to obtain signatures on the petition to Pelosi and Reid to demand that this time they switch their allegiance from the illegal workers and the employers who hire them and think instead of the 25 million unemployed Americans. More here:
Folks, I don't think our economy is anywhere NEAR finished tanking. They're going to raise taxes on the people who provide jobs and pay salaries. They're going to continue blocking our energy industry while our energy prices are skyrocketing. In fact, they seem to try to hamper/increase regulation on ALL of our industries while unemployment is skyrocketing. They're going to impose cap and trade (global warming.) They're going to impose government health care. They're not going to fix social security or medicare. They continue to make our income taxes more complex. They continue to allow illegal aliens to benefit from breaking our laws. They continue to allow "environmental groups" standing in court to sue on "your behalf." They continue to borrow and squander our money like drunken Democrats. They continue to grow government into the most massive, lumbering , inefficient behemoth on earth.
They slowly started this crap 80 years ago but now, with the Dipshitocrats in control, they are in a full sprint. They are crushing liberty and crushing America ... and telling us it's for our own good.
