Government Seems Stunned By Lagging Employment Numbers?

Sometimes I'm amazed by the lackadaisical mentality of our US Government officials.

One would think that our elected government officials would be aware that there is no accurate way to account for so called 'legitimate' employment numbers when there are anywhere from 8 million to 30 million undocumented aliens traversing our Country's streets and seem to be gainfully employed.

It's no wonder that the stimulus doesn't seem to be working. These so called 'undocumented' citizens are basically considered to be 'offline' and thus not subject to basic US reporting standards.

And that leads to another interesting question. Why is the Government so hell bent on going after US businesses for employing these illegals when they - themselves have left our borders so porous that one could smuggle a heard of elephants through the 1400 or so mile stretch. The US businesses shouldn't be held responsible as the fault truly lies with our own Government for allowing the Mexican-American border to be left virtually wide open.

Here locally I was recently informed by an educational administrator that in one local school district the student population is comprised mainly of children whose parents citizen status is deemed to be 'illegal'. Thus, is it the obligation for the ' legal' status citizens to be footing the bill to educate these 'illegal' children? Where was the government when these children appeared in the local classroom? If the situation is this bad here in Maryland. . . .one can only imagine how bad it is along the Mexican-Arizona border towns.
