The immigration bill: More tax dollars going to the unions

The economy is in the tank. What actions can the government take to create a business environment that will lead to economic growth and therefore, more jobs? The government thinks that if you create a youth employment plan for the summer that there will be more job slots available. In the immigration bill (S 744), there is Title V which allocates $1.5 billion to the states based upon their unemployment levels. If jobs are not being created currently, where will these youth go to work? Sounds like the Senate just wants to increase the employment in government (union) positions.

There will be "training and eduction" related to this. And of course, we don't have any of those provided by the government, do we? The states will create workforce investment areas. That just creates a "zone" in which the state will spend our money. In the past, when these zones are created, the employers are given some kind of monetary reward for hiring one of the participants. This could be a Federal, State or Local tax break of some kind. So if new jobs are not being created, what's going on? Seems to me that the employer is going to "lay off" an employee and hire a participant in the plan  to get the monetary reward. 

I hate to be negative but we are accomplishing nothing more than taking money out of our pockets and feeding more government programs. Let's create an environment that encourages businesses to create NEW job positions. The youth will become employed because there will be a true need.
