re: You're right. However, last time I checked, which was a couple of weeks ago, unemployment is down to 5.0%.
A funky number at best... and underemployment is the problem. Low end wages stay the same or go down, inflation continues, poverty rates grow, fewer and fewer people with health insurance. New laws limiting bankruptcy that effect people not corporations.
No problem for you, you have a cushy job at Intel, great salary, benefits. Who cares how the other half lives?
re: My position stands, however. Drastically lift the limits of legal immigration and try to get a handle on the situation. Add good enforcement on the borders and within, and we'll have a solution that I think both sides can agree upon.
No, put the people that hire illegals in jail. They are complicit and enabling, AND they are brazenly breaking the law. A no tolerance policy, 90 days in prison. End of problem... no jobs for illegals, no illegal immigration.
Then if you offer a shit job, you have to pay someone a decent wage to do it.
