Yesterday the town of Manchester in New Hampshire held a job fair, and more than 10,000 people showed up. The applicants were everything from college students to unemployed executives.

New Hampshire's unemployment rate was only 5.3% in February, 2008. The national unemployment rate in February was 8.1%.

The true national unemployment rate in March, as reported by the Department of Labor, was 15.6%. This figure includes the official rate of 8.5% plus the people who don't qualify to be counted. These are the folks who were forced to work part time or were too discouraged to even look for work.

Somebody tell me again why we need to give amnesty to illegals.
