Sen. Chuck Schumer is attempting to revive moribund efforts to pass a comprehensive immigration bill, telling POLITICO Monday that he will hold a hearing next week focused on the economic argument for an immigration overhaul.

It’s a subtle shift in emphasis for immigration reform advocates, who met recently with Schumer (D-N.Y.) to plot a strategy.

“We decided we ought to start highlighting the fact that immigration creates jobs rather than takes them away,â€

U-3 Unemployment is at 9.3 and rising and will be the trend for some time to come

U-6 Unemployment is at 22.3 and rising and will be the trend for some time to come (That's 38.6 million Americans that are under employed)

44.7 million on food stamps and rising

6.7 million homes foreclosed on and that number is still rising ... no jobs = no homes for American CITIZENS

wages have been depressed from Illegal Immigration

Jobs have been depressed for ILLEGAL Hiring to Illegal Immigration

those company's that do hire to Illegal Immigrants put company's that follow the rules out of business because they cannot compete with the lower wages that illegal Immigrants are paid

and to beat it all crack heads like Sen. Chuck Schumer have aided and abetted the outsourcing / Off Shoring of American jobs to foreign company's

The Democrats are split tongue devils who out of one side of their mouth talk about helping poor Americans and favor Unions to raise living standards. Then out of the other side of their mouth they are catering to greedy Big Business who want to flood our job market with more people so the Business owners can lower wages with a glut of unemployed Citizens.

Besides all that Schumer knows darn well NO CIR will pass so he is just blowing smoke wasting precious time while millions of Americans are losing their homes,jobs and even going hungry.
