I don't know if this NumbersUSA article was previously posted, but I'm posting portions of it because I want to make some comments about it. You can read the article in its entirety at the link.

What is happening with this government allowing green cards to be issued to so many foreign workers, is not only against the very laws they passed, it's unacceptable to the American people, especially in a recession and with unemployment numbers climbing. What they are doing here is giving amnesty to almost a million a year without ever having to pass an immigration reform bill. All of us need to fight this, and demand that our government stop breaking its own laws.


125,000 brand new foreign workers with work permits each month -- HERE'S THE PROOF

NEW PERMANENT & TEMPORARY WORK PERMITS -- 160,000 PER MONTH

951,247

That is the number of PERMANENT work permits given in the form of green cards to working-age immigrants over the 12-month period.

None of these people has ever gotten a green card before.

These green cards are the most insidious aspect. Every year, our federal government hands out PERMANENT access to U.S. jobs to nearly a million foreign adults through our legal immigration system. In 2008 while our economy was suffering the worst collapse since the Great Depression, our government continued to flood the occupations of beleaguered U.S. workers at this incredible pace.

Lots of people in think tanks that ought to know better have thrown ridiculous accusations at us, such as claiming that the feds can't possibly have given 951,000 green cards to immigrant workers since the law only allows greencards to 140,000 skilled and 5,000 unskilled workers per year.
