SHOULD WE BE LETTING ADDITIONAL WORKERS INTO THE COUNTRY WHEN WE HAVE

SO MANY OF OUR OWN CITIZENS CURRENTLY OUT OF WORK?

Approximately one million legal immigrants are entering our country every year. 

That's almost 100,000 persons per month.

It's estimated that about 75% of these immigrants are seeking work here.  

Thus the economy needs to create about 75,000 new jobs each month

just to absorb the newly arriving immigrants.  

Since we are woefully short of new jobs GreatDepression2.org recommends

immediately imposing a temporary MORATORIUM on all legal immigration.
