Jobs czar not doing much for jobs

I met a couple who were able to come to the U.S. because they were medical transcribers in Pakistan. They were here for a year, and he just secured a position as a medical transcriber. She does not work. So, in this case, they were able to immigrate without a job waiting. I did not ask how they and their child lived during that year.

The Obama administration has stopped the deportation of nonviolent illegal aliens already ordered to return home by U.S. immigration courts. They are starting to give these 300,000 illegal aliens work visas to compete with American workers. Obama’s job czar, Jeff Imelt, CEO of General Electric, which did not pay any taxes in 2010, cut 34,000 American jobs at G.E. while creating 36,000 jobs abroad. Now, G.E. is closing their headquarters in Wisconsin to invest about $2 billion across China.

I thought a jobs czar appointed by Obama would create jobs for Americans. We have foreign workers getting job visas, illegal aliens who have already been deported getting work visas, and a jobs czar creating jobs overseas. We have 22 million Americans who cannot find jobs. I do not believe Obama when he says that jobs are his highest priority. Not when he hires Imelt to decimate American jobs, Not when he ignores the deportation ruling of the immigration courts.
