Immigration increases the US unemployment rate

Dear Representative Neugebauer,
I am sure you were as appalled as I was when you saw the unemployment figures for March. It is truly demoralizing that so many Americans are unemployed. Given that so many Americans are out of work, don't you think Congress should reexamine America's excessive immigration policies?

The United States admits 138,000 foreign workers each month. The vast majority of these foreign workers do not possess extraordinary talents or skills. Americans would gladly work the jobs filled by foreign workers if given the opportunity.

While 13.2 million Americans sit unemployed, 7.7 million illegal alien workers have jobs to which they are not entitled. I find it appalling that Congress has allowed this injustice to occur. If our nation's immigration laws were enforced, then America would have millions fewer unemployed workers.

I urge you to right this tremendous wrong by working to reform America's ineffective and wasteful immigration system. Please work to halt most forms of immigration so that unemployed Americans have a decent chance of finding a job.

Thank you,

Dr. Chris Albritton
