15 Million Americans Are Out Of Work. So Why Is Our Government Still Bringing In 1.5 Million Foreign Workers A Year?

 It doesn't make sense. 15 million Americans can't find a job and our government is still allowing 1.5 million foreign workers a year to enter this country and take American jobs. And that's not counting the illegal workers taking jobs. With Americans losing their houses and struggling to put food on the table, how can we continue giving jobs away? Does anyone really believe there's a labor shortage? And, yes, Americans will do "those jobs."

You hear a lot of talk about job creation these days. And most of it is just that, talk. Here's a simple plan that will open up millions of jobs for Americans at little cost to taxpayers. It's time to take action and STOP the great American job give-away.

1. Worksite Enforcement: An estimated 8 million illegal workers hold jobs today. Stepped up enforcement of existing worksite laws and programs such as E-Verify will open up jobs for American workers immediately.
   
2. Time Out For Temporary Worker Visas: More than 900,000 visas were issued last year alone to foreign temporary workers. And we're still doing it today. Stop giving visas to non-agricultural workers and open those jobs to American Workers.
   
3. Time Out On Most Permanent Foreign Workers: Of the 1.1 million immigrants admitted to the U.S. last year, 3 of 4 were potential job seekers, while Americans were losing jobs. Reduce the flow of immigration and jobs will open for Americans.

1. Call President Obama at 202-456-1111. President Obama can make changes to the nation's immigration policies without Congressional approval. Call him and tell him we need to reduce the number of foreign workers coming to this country to take jobs, so Americans can get those jobs.
2. Believe it or not, many in Congress don't know we're still giving jobs away. If you want to help educate members of Congress, the Congressional switchboard can be reached at 202-224-3121.

How You Can Help -- If We All Speak Together, We'll Be Heard Loud and Clear.

1. Talk About It! Many Americans have no idea we're still bringing in 1.5 million foreign workers a year to take American jobs. So talk about it, send emails and helps us communicate what's going on. Talk to your friends and talk with the media. If we all speak together right now, we'll be heard loud and clear!
2. Start Asking Our Leaders Questions:
   1. Why are we bringing in 1.5 million foreign workers to take jobs when 15 million Americans are out of work?
   2. Ask why Congressman Gutierrez is insisting President Obama stop worksite enforcement of immigration laws? Enforcement is opening jobs across the country for unemployed Americans. Unfortunately, since President Obama took office, worksite enforcement has declined significantly.
   3. Why aren't Jobs created by stimulus money just for American workers? That's right, there aren't safeguards in place to make sure Stimulus money jobs go to Americans? That idea was rejected! Right now, illegal workers and foreign workers are allowed to take Stimulus money jobs.
   4. Why are Congressman Gutierrez and Senator Schumer so adamant that we need to give illegal aliens amnesty and bring in more foreign workers now! That's not Comprehensive Immigration Reform. That's Comprehensive Amnesty. It would also be a Comprehensive Disaster for the American worker.
