Liberals, why did 60 minutes say there are more jobs than workers?

I keep seeing the rhetoric all over this site, yet watch the video. CBS is notoriously liberal, so let's not attack the source. Amazing how the media throws in the facts only when it suits their story.

Kitty: That's what I am talking about. Did you watch the report? There are more high paying jobs for people with the right education than EVER before! I keep hearing the Left scream about the loss of jobs!!!!! it's a lie! more opportunity now than 20 years ago. Why does everyone want it handed to them?

The Left is blaming Bush for the loss of jobs!!!! Immigration? What are you talking about? FREE TRADE! HELLO????

Answer 1

I agree with above: when the LIEberals need to show the economy is bad, we have more workers than jobs. When the LIEberals need to promote their immigration policy, we have more jobs than workers. It's pathetic.

Please note I am pro immigration, but not for the same reasons LIEberals are. I honestly believe in opening our borders to Mexican laborers so they can personally live better lives. I have no political gain like the LIEberals have.

Answer 2

I am not going to get into the politics, but about the jobs...a job that is sustaining and lasting is called a career. I cannot live on $8/hr job in the service industry, yet there are many jobs in my area that minorities can get besides working in the fields for pennies a day. Seeing them work hard, long days and living in squalor is not my idea of the American Dream.

Answer 3

I'm politically in the middle. I've always thought it was the middle/lower class right wingers that complained about illegals taking their job. What left wingers complain about this?

Answer 4

It's a simple ploy of the left wing liberal media to justify there stance in wanting to allow Illegal aliens to stay in this country and receive benefits reserved for US Citizens.
