One In Five Americans Don’t Have A Freakin’ Job. But Bo Just Issued 1,130,818 Green Cards In 2009.

According to this article, The Department of Homeland Security issued 1,130,818 new Green Cards to foreign nationals in 2009, allowing them to work legally in this country.

So nice of them.

In Feb. 2009, the financial institution Merrill Lynch announced that the nation’s actual unemployment rate had reached 13.9 percent. A year later, that number had risen to 17.3 percent. This figure represents Americans who have been laid off from full-time positions and are now working part-time, as well as those who have simply stopped looking for work, and workers whose unemployment benefits have run out.

In 1931, the second full year of the Great Depression, the average rate of unemployment was 16.3 percent, with U.S. unemployment peaking at 25 percent in 1933. We now sit in between those two disastrous figures, with an ever-worsening economy.

Does anyone else think it’s sort of insane that our elected officials seem to give more of a crap about people outside of this country than they do the TAXPAYERS THAT ARE ALREADY HERE? You know – the ones that DON’T HAVE JOBS?

There is no logical explanation for giving out all these green cards while our economy is in the sh*tter except for the obvious one – when you’re Bo and you realize that your approval ratings are tanking to historic lows, you need to get a bunch of barely-legals in here pronto so you can somehow get THEIR votes to get you reelected in 2012. Because you suck, and let’s face it – without them, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell that you’ll be reelected.

Brilliant.
