“They’z a takin’ our jerbs!”

Yeah, I get tired of hearing that, too. Like you can find anyone who actually says it who is willing to take one of the jobs the illegals are supposedly stealing.

80,000 lost jobs in March, over 200,000 jobs lost since the first of the year…curious here, how many of those jobs were LOST BY ILLEGAL ALIENS? How can all three Presidential Candidates support AMNESTY and a pathway to citizenship when illegal aliens hold MILLIONS of JOBS rightfully belonging to American Citizens, and where is the mainstream media in asking the candidates this important question.

So, Americans deserver jobs over immigrants by virtue of the fact that they’re natural born citizens? Boy, you really have an entitlement problem.

Sean: It’s not recession, folks! It’s Bush’s new immigration plan!

It’s actually Bush’s plan to eliminate poverty. Jobs go bye-bye and essentials become too expensive so the poor and middle class die!

CSS: “They are not asking that question, because it is a stupid question.”

It’s also stupidly phrased and has a stupid assumption behind it.

If the jobs lost were lost by illegal aliens what would you have to complain about, Rabbit? The illegals come here because of the availability of jobs. If the jobs go away, so would the illegals. Right? Problem solved.

It’s not recession, folks! It’s Bush’s new immigration plan!

“Can we call this a recession yet?”

Many economists already are.

Looks like Bush will be the first president in how long to have 2 recessions on his watch.

They are not asking that question, because it is a stupid question.

People are not losing jobs because of illegal aliens, people are losing jobs because the economy has been built on consumer debt for so long that it was bound to fail and no one in the government bothered to do anything to prevent that, or at least lessen the inevitable fall. In fact, they encouraged it because the short term gains looked good and that was politically advantageous.

McCombover’s hoovernomics advocacy is never mentioned when reporters ride his campaign bus with him
