At a recent fund raiser Mrs. Clinton had this to say

She also pledged to promote energy independence and drew laughs from the crowd when she described replacing ordinary light bulbs with energy-efficient models and shutting off lights to conserve power.

“I turn off a light and say, ‘Take that,

Iran

Iran,’ and “Take that, Venezuela.’ We should not be sending our money to people who are not going to support our values,” she said.

I’m wondering did Mrs. Clinton and the writer of the article get the fact that the audience was laughing at her because of the stupidity of her statement?  Does she even know that electricity in this nation isn’t generated by the burning of oil?  That it comes from home-grown sources like coal and hydro?  Will anyone in the MSM highlight this gaffe?

Great article from Mark Kirkorkian at The Corner

After the Swift meatpacking raids in Greeley. Colo., Americans lined up out the door of the hiring office seeking the newly freed-up positions. Then, after the Crider chicken plant in Stillmore, Ga., was cleared of its illegal aliens, “For the first time in years, local officials say, Crider aggressively sought workers from the area’s state-funded employment office.” And now, after the raid on a New Bedford, Mass., military contractor (that has caused such hyperventilation from the party apparat in the people’s republic), guess what? Yup. Americans in that high-unemployment city are actually getting hired. (see cable news video here)

So, can we finally retire “jobs Americans won’t do”?

It just takes common sense to know that companies want illegal immigration so that they can depress wages.  It’s a shame that those lobbying against immigration enforcement can’t see the harm they’re causing to so many Americans.
