Connect the dots on unemployment

Published 8:20 am Tuesday, February 8, 2011

President Obama in his State of the Union address in essence screamed jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. But how about connecting the dots? How about looking at the connection between our out-of-control illegal immigration and unemployment figures? How about requiring that e-verify be made mandatory for all employers throughout the U.S.? That would instantly free up the 7 million or more jobs that are held unlawfully by illegal aliens so those jobs can be held by U.S. citizens, and as an added bonus, many illegal aliens will then self-deport, freeing up the schools and emergency rooms.
