#1 If we (did the cruel and inhumane thing and) closed the borders & got rid of all the illegal aliens, would unemployment go down as the young people took all those jobs 'Americans won't do?' You know, the jobs we did as kids, like crop picking and yard work and car washing etc.
If we did another cruel and inhumane thing and lowered the legal minimum wage would jobs open up for young workers?
Or would the potential workers stay unemployed and jobs unfilled as being beneath the dignity of today's Americans?

#2 If you were concerned about employment those thing might really help. If you were concerned about power however, those are things you don't want to do. It keeps the serfs dependent upon you and your ~~party~~ fellow ~~aristocrats~~ keptocrats.

The "Jobs Americans Won't Do"(tm) narrative is usually hawked by people who've never seen Dirty Jobs.

#3 Curious minds want to know...how many of this cohort currently 19 or older voted for The One? Is it equal to or greater than their ~~fun~~employment rate?

(The younger ones can't vote, can't really hold them accountable for this.)

#4 my three kids are employed (*knock* on wood) are employed, thank God - one in Uncle Sam's employ. Many of their friends are not and are having no chance in getting work. Hail Obama!

#5 My nephew starts a new job tomorrow. He graduated with honors from Duke in the spring of '08. He had a paid internship during the late summer/fall of '08 but that ended in late December. He has been unemployed since. The company that is hiring him is lucky. He is so eager to work he is going to practically live at the office.
