Since the "stimulus" was passed last February, the economy has shed 3.3 million jobs and the unemployment rate is almost 30 percent higher than President Obama promised it would be.
Adding insult to injury, 15 million Americans are unemployed while an estimated eight million illegals are employed.
In fact, in many states there are almost as many illegal immigrants in the labor force as there are unemployed workers.
In California alone, there are 2.3 million people unemployed while an estimated 1.9 million illegals are employed.
Despite these harrowing numbers, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has slashed worksite enforcement efforts in the past year.
During these times of economic hardship, Congressman Miller believes firmly that America must reclaim the estimated 8 million jobs that illegals have stolen and give unemployed Americans and legal workers an opportunity to go back to work.
To this end, he will fight to make E-Verify mandatory, support increased worksite enforcement activities, and oppose any amnesty legislation.
