With 1 in 5 Americans out of work, Obama issues over a million green cards

Quote from fkbsuhites:

The Department of Homeland Security has just reported that during 2009, they issued 1,130,818 new Green Cards to foreign nationals who were allowed to enter the country illegally by Bush Jr. Who the OP voted for TWICE.

The OP is a shit-for-brains neocon moron. I can smell their shit-for-brains stupidity from miles away

These anti-American bastards should all be shot where they stand.

Ah, so this is what the compassionate, tolerant liberals look like.

In Feb. 2009, the financial institution Merrill Lynch announced that the nation’s actual unemployment rate had reached 13.9 percent. A year later, that number had risen to 17.3 percent. This figure represents Americans who have been laid off from full-time positions and are now working part-time, as well as those who have simply stopped looking for work, and workers whose unemployment benefits have run out.

The official unemployment figure given monthly by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics is now listed around 10 percent, but represents only those Americans currently receiving unemployment checks, and is not truly indicative of the dire employment situation now facing the U.S.

In 1931, the second full year of the Great Depression, the average rate of unemployment was 16.3 percent, with U.S. unemployment peaking at 25 percent in 1933. We now sit in between those two disastrous figures, with an ever-worsening economy.

Can we compare these scary numbers from Merrill during a recession to during a boom using the same calculations?

During good times, I have taken months of my retirement while I was young enough to enjoy it. I was not employed full or part time, not looking for work, not collecting unemployment. I know there are others who have done as I did, but I have no idea how many.
