Another 467,000 jobs were cut last month raising the nation's jobless rate to 9.5 percent. The cuts were more than 100,000 expected by analysts as the number of unemployed U.S. citizens nears 15 million.

THE PEOPLE. I’m talking about 3,141 counties where all of America takes place. It is with great joy that I announce today that NumbersUSA is rolling out its QUALITY-OF-LIFE MAPS project on our website so that all Americans can track the overall health of our 3,141 counties and all inhabitants thereof.

Our readers have sent us a lot of personal stories in response to Roy’s blog last week about his trip to the Midwest and who he found working at hotels and at a resort in the nation’s heartland. The jobs weren’t filled with imported labor, but instead Roy found hardworking Americans doing the jobs the open borders groups say Americans won’t do.
Substandard and abusive conditions in immigration detention “are of the utmost importance,” a federal judge in Manhattan said Thursday, ruling that the Department of Homeland Security’s 2 ½-year delay in responding to a petition for legally enforceable regulations was “unreasonable as a matter of law.”
Most illegal immigrants come to this country from Mexico looking for jobs. Regardless of how much the government beefs up border security — which, certainly, must be done — if there is no functioning temporary worker program, illegal immigrants still will have strong incentive to sneak over the border.http://www.denverpost.com/editorials/ci_12709515
