Out of touch Obama fails to understand our unemployment predicament

By Frosty Wooldridge

Today, February 3, 2012, a mind numbing 15 million Americans cannot obtain a job and another 7 million suffer from underemployment.

At the same time, 46 million Americans subsist on food stamps.  Millions more stand in unemployment lines.

Yet, every 30 days, Obama and Congress important in excess of 150,000 legal and illegal immigrants to take jobs from American citizens.

This week, Obama mis-spoke when he said that we need more engineering immigrants because we don’t have enough of our own.  Oh, how wrong the president finds himself and shows how out of touch he is with the American worker.

In real life, 1.8 Million Americans with engineering degrees can’t obtain an engineering job because of H-1B visas for foreign engineering workers.

Roy Beck, director of www.NumbersUSA.org , weighed in on the conversation.

“President Obama’s own staff has produced the data to show that the President was wrong Monday when he said America doesn’t have enough engineers, was wrong last week in the State of the Union to say we need more high-skilled foreign workers, and was wrong in sending out spokespersons to claim that not enough Americans are obtaining engineering degrees,” said Beck.  “But the President — like most Republican leaders — tends not to look for facts when thinking about immigration but just looks to his elite business cronies.”

DR. CAMAROTA CATCHES THE PRESIDENT WITH HIS ENGINEER STATS DOWN

“Earlier this week, Obama was caught off-guard in an internet Q&A when a woman asked why the government continues to issue work visas to foreign engineers while her engineer husband can’t find a job,” said Beck.

The President found the question “interesting” because “industry tells me that they don’t have enough highly skilled engineers.”

The White House sent out spokespersons to defend the President by talking about how not enough Americans are getting engineering degrees.

How many Americans with engineering degrees don’t have an engineering job?

Amazingly just this afternoon, Dr. Steve Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies has published a report that answers the question.

“We will talk more about the meaning of these stats in our weekly webcast at 3:30 p.m. (Eastern) Thursday. But chew on the numbers,” said Beck.

U.S.-BORN INDIVIDUALS WITH ENGINEERING DEGREES (under age 66) (based on most recent American Community Survey by the Obama Administration itself)

101,000 – U.S. engineers looking for a job who can’t find any work at all

244,000 – U.S. engineers who have dropped completely out of the labor market

1,470,000 – U.S. engineers who are working but no longer as engineers ========================================================

1.8 million – Total U.S.-born individuals under the age of 66 who have engineering degrees but don’t have an engineering job

“There is a lot to say about all those numbers,” said Beck. “But one thing that can’t be said is that the United States doesn’t “have enough highly skilled engineers” among its own citizens.

“These numbers were compiled by Pres. Obama’s own staff. But he apparently never thought to check on the facts. He was perfectly willing to take the word of the business elites with whom he hobnobs when they claim they have to have more foreign engineers.”
