red states rule

I thought Obama was going to be so much better than Bush. He was going to bring hope and change to the downtrodden US workers
If so why did he let this slide?
Let me guess. He did not know or this is not the stimulus bill he knew
Stimulus dollars may end up helping illegal workers
Some construction jobs created as a result of federal aid could go to illegal immigrants.
Thousands of N.C. jobs and millions in wages created from the federal economic stimulus package could wind up going to illegal immigrants.
Congress stripped language from the $789 billion package that would have required employers to verify the legal status of workers paid with stimulus money.
The White House estimates the package will generate or save an estimated 105,000 jobs in North Carolina over the next two years.
While it's impossible to say definitively how many illegal immigrants will get jobs, multiple studies estimate at least 14percent of the construction labor force is in the U.S. illegally. Experts say actual numbers are likely much higher.
North Carolina could get $1.3billion for highway and school construction, which, based on federal estimates, could mean more than 5,000 jobs for undocumented workers.
