You will see this morning's broadcast of what is happening in New Bedford. Hundreds of Americans are applying for the jobs vacated by the illegals who are (supposedly) being deported.

The unemployment rate in New Bedford is 8%, one of the highest in the state. Many people have been out of work for months and are eagerly seeking the vacated jobs--even at $7.15 an hour! It gives proof that Americans will do those jobs, in fact want those jobs very much!

It also shows that there is a surplus of unskilled labor in the United States, just what the corporations like but why poor people have declining wages. It's the law of supply and demand, pure and simple. We have too many workers for the number of jobs available, so wages go down and the most vulnerable among us either must work two jobs or lose their housing.

This is NOT the time to increase the number of workers coming into the country, as the senate would like to do in its upcoming amnesty try.
