Congress has sold out the unemployed

I have joined the ranks of the 25 million people that are out of work in America.

Although there are 25 million Americans unemployed, Congress continues to allow 1. 5 million foreign workers to come to America on work permits annually.

Next year the economy will add 2 million jobs. Most of those jobs will go to foreigners because Congress will issue 1.5 million more work permits for next year.

This seems a little stupid to me that Congress would do this. How about a moratorium on foreign work permits until the unemployment rate gets below 5 percent?

Why has congress forgotten the American worker? Why do you support foreign workers over us? Do we have to follow the money?

I expect to see some action from you in this matter.
