I worked the unemployment numbers on my web site some time ago. Let me
republish the article here in large part:

  Heck, let's look at October 2002 first. On October 2002, there was
  214 million Americans who were capable of participating in the work
  force (i.e., were above 16). Of those, a little under 135 million
  Americans were actually employed. You do the math: 135 divided by
  214 is 0.63, meaning that the actual unemployment rate is 37%,
  higher than the peak of 33% during the Great Depression.


  Or is it? After all, neither 75 year old grandfathers nor 16 year
  old girls are likely to want to actually work, and there are still
  women who are not actually looking for work outside of being a
  housewife. So let's go over to the Census bureau and get rid of some
  of those people...

  The 2000 Census had an age breakdown. There were 173 million
  Americans between ages 18 and 65 in 2000.

  College students presumably are not looking for jobs. The Census
  Bureau helpfully tells us how many kids are in college and their
  employment status. 14 million are in college, and of those, 5
  million are employed. So let's subtract 9 million from the
  workforce. We're now down to 164 million.


  For the sake of argument, let's assume that 25% of all women want to
  be housewives. This corresponds to the percentage of women with
  children who are NOT working. This means that we can subtract
  another 21 million from the workforce. Now we're at 143 million.


  People in prison aren't working, as such. According to The Bureau
  of Justice Statistics, there was approximately 1.2 million
  prisoners in 2000. So now we're down to 142 million in the
  workforce.


  So now we have an actual unemployment rate: 135 million actually
  working, divided by 142 million in the workforce. That's roughly 95%
  of people who are of working age and actually in the market for a
  job who are actually working (note that because of the rounding that
  I've done all through this exercise, that number could be off by as
  much as 3%).

In other words, there is 7 million Americans who are theoretically
capable of taking jobs currently occupied by immigrants. There are
anywhere from 7 million to 11 million illegal immigrants currently
in America, depending upon what study you look at. 

Now, of that 7 million Americans, remember that some large number of them
are single mothers on welfare, another large number is institutionized in
nursing homes, a sizable number are disabled (approximately 90% of all
disabled people are unemployed)...

In other words: If you sent all the illegals home, there just aren't
enough able-bodied Americans to take their place. The numbers don't lie.
All figures that I mention above can be easily verified at the source,
though as far as I know I am the first person to actually put all the
numbers together to figure out that 2+2 != 7.

Please, you're talking about facts, and facts are not relevant to the
KKK mentality that we're talking about. They're utterly convinced that
"them niggers is taking our jobs" whoops "them Mexicans is taking our
jobs". Nevermind that I've had the misfortune of being the boss to
these kinds of KKK masterminds and ended up having to kick them out
the door because they refused to follow directions and did whatever
the hell they felt like doing whenever they felt like doing rather
than the job that they were assigned to do... they blame the Mexicans,
not their own personal failings, as the reason they are unemployed or
underemployed.  If they'd quit being so obnoxious and were willing to
work well with others, maybe I wouldn't have had to kick their ass out
the door?  But what the hey, it's always easier to blame other people
than to accept personal responsibility (and the more defenseless the
other people, the better -- thus why, in generations past, they blamed
"niggers", and today they blame "wetbacks").
