One in eight Americans needs emergency food assistance
By Hiram Lee
4 February 2010
One in eight Americans does not have enough to eat and requires emergency food assistance. This staggering number is revealed in a report released on Tuesday by Feeding America (FA), a network consisting of thousands of food pantries, soup kitchens and similar agencies serving 37 million people in the US. The report, entitled Hunger in America 2010, paints a devastating portrait of the social misery faced by millions of American working people.
In what is the largest single study of domestic emergency food assistance ever carried out, Feeding America conducted 61,000 face-to-face interviews and surveyed more than 37,000 charitable agencies in its network to assess the level of “food insecurity” among their clients. “Food insecurity” means, simply, that people are going hungry. Survey respondents classified as “insecure” stated they could not afford to buy more food once they had run out, that they had been forced to skip meals because they could not afford them, and that they had not been able to eat when they were hungry because they could not afford to do so.
The FA investigation revealed the organization now serves 37 million people annually, of which 14 million are children. This marks an alarming 46 percent increase in people seeking emergency hunger relief since 2006. Seventy-nine percent of the 14.5 million households served by FA have annual incomes below the official federal poverty line, an absurdly low threshold of $22,025 for a family of four. Ten percent of the families surveyed are currently homeless; 60 percent do not have access to a car. More than one third of FA client households reported one or more adult family members were currently employed but still struggled to get enough to eat.
The report also revealed that increasing numbers of people are forced to choose between spending money on food and other basic necessities. The FA found that 46 percent of their clients reported having been forced to choose between buying food for their families or paying for utility services, 40 percent had been forced to choose between food or paying for rent or mortgages, and 34 percent had to choose between food or paying for prescription drugs or other medical treatments. In all, more than one in three recipients of emergency hunger relief reported having to choose between food and other basic needs.
The FA report found that of the clients served by its charities, 78.5 percent of households with children under the age of 18 were “food insecure,” translating to 4.4 million households in all with children who don’t have enough to eat. In households where no children are present, 73.6 percent are also going hungry.
The rapid increase in need for hunger relief is a direct result of the hardships forced on American workers by the global economic crisis. Growing levels of unemployment are a major factor in the rising need for food assistance.
In a section titled “The 2008-2009 Recession: The context for Hunger in America 2010,” the FA report points out that “data collection for Hunger in America 2010 took place during the deepest recession the US has experienced since the 1930s.” It goes on to state that during the last Hunger in America investigation, in 2005, the national unemployment level was at 5.1 percent.
“By the time data collection for the 2010 study commenced in late winter 2009,” the report notes, “the recession was in full swing and the unemployment rate was rising rapidly, jumping from 4.9 percent at the start of the recession in December 2007 to 9.5 percent when client data collection was completed in June 2009.” The current national unemployment rate now stands at more than 10 percent.
The FA report on hunger was released on the same day that the US Labor Department reported a rise in unemployment in most cities and counties during December. During that time, jobs were cut in no less than 302 of 372 metro areas and unemployment levels rose to more than 10 percent in 138 metro areas.
January saw the highest level of planned layoffs in five months with 71,482 jobs slashed. This was a 59 percent increase since December. These figures guarantee a rise in the numbers of workers requiring assistance from food pantries, soup kitchens and other hunger relief organizations.
Food insecurity is especially prevalent in the southern United States. Among the southern states facing the highest levels of hunger is Kentucky, where one in seven people require emergency food assistance.
God’s Pantry, a food bank located in Kentucky and a member of the FA network, released its own report on Tuesday in tandem with the FA’s national study. God’s Pantry currently serves 211,300 individuals in central and eastern Kentucky. Twelve of the counties serviced by God’s Pantry are among the 25 poorest counties in the nation. In the 50 counties serviced by God’s Pantry, 310,170 people are living in poverty.
Mandy Brajuha, a media representative for God’s Pantry, spoke with the World Socialist Web Site on Wednesday. “The economy is taking its toll,” said Brajuha, “the people we serve are already living at the margins.”
When asked about the difficulty of meeting the rapid increase in those seeking food assistance, Brajuha said, “At this point we feel pretty secure, but when you see an increase in need of 32 percent in one year you have to grow a little bit concerned of how we’re going to keep up.” She added, “We’re bracing ourselves.”
Brajuha told the WSWS about encountering “people who’ve never needed food assistance before who don’t know how to navigate to the social services system.” She discussed one client in particular who stood out in her memory. Described by Brajuha as a “well educated, kind man,” the client was a truck driver who had gone from “making $60,000 last year, to eating at a soup kitchen in the next year.” He had lost his home to foreclosure and was now staying at a homeless shelter. “His wife passed away in the last year,” said Brajuha, and “he had lost his job because his company was downsizing.” The client had told her, “Not a lot of people want to employ a truck driver in his 50s.”
Responding to the “pull yourself up by your bootstraps” mentality, Brajuha pointed out that 27 percent of God’s Pantry clients are employed, while a significant number of clients are children and senior citizens.
The Obama administration has done nothing to alleviate the staggering level of suffering faced by millions of workers revealed in these reports. At every turn, Obama, who ran a cynical presidential campaign as the candidate of “change,” has continued and expanded on the reactionary policies of the Bush administration and has consistently lined up on the side of big business at the expense of workers.
As corporations have sought to exploit the economic crisis by assaulting the living standards of workers in order to secure higher profits and productivity, they have done so either with the support of the Obama administration or by following its lead.
While Obama has spared no expense in bailing out the banks, funneling trillions of dollars from the national treasury into the coffers of Wall Street executives, workers are told to tighten their belts and accept new austerity measures, including a three-year freeze on segments of social spending.
With millions desperate for work, Obama’s stimulus plan to “create or save” millions of jobs has proven a farce. The White House claimed in 2009 that the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act would create 3.5 million jobs in two years. Even according to its own accounting, which is highly unreliable, only between 600,000 and 1.6 million jobs have been created or saved. Even if one were to accept the White House figures, this would be a paltry answer to a crisis that has seen 15 million Americans become jobless.
Though he is currently attempting to pass himself off as a populist, anti-Wall Street politician in reaction to the Democratic Party’s defeat in the Massachusetts senatorial election, the reality of the true class interests defended by Obama have once again been laid bare by Feeding America’s investigation into hunger in the United States. It is a devastating exposure of the level of suffering inflicted on working people at the expense of corporate profits.

In Los Angeles 47% of those employed are illegals. What is it the rest of the state (which pays out $18 billion per year in social services to illegals)??? Look around you anywhere and see how many speak English? Know of any construction sites that have an American born tradesman that actually speaks English?
Working tirelessly for employers breaking the law by hiring illegals are: Feinstein, Boxer, Pelosi, Waxman, Eshoo, Lofgren, Farr, Baca, and La Raza candidate for governor, Antonio “Taco Runt” Villaraigosa.

Untold Story of American Workers Vs. Illegal Immigration
________________________________________
Untold Story of American Workers Vs. Illegal Immigration

By William Gheen

Across America a terrible story unfolds trapping honest and hard working Americans between the proverbial rock and a hard space. It is a story that I have gleaned from conversations with those directly impacted. It is a story I have learned from reading between the lines in the print media.

Many of America's print media publications are now facing well deserved financial extinction due to their penchant for bias, censorship, and promotions of unpopular political positions, rather than reporting facts. No issue illustrates their heavy bias more than illegal immigration.

American readers are bombarded on a daily basis with the latest illegal alien sob stories about how illegal aliens are getting laid off, being profiled, discriminated against, or finding it harder to get licenses and government benefits from mean and hateful Americans, while the most important part of the story is conspicuously absent!

The Americans who are falling down in historic numbers are not in these articles or publications!

The propagandists at the newspapers should take heed, when I remind them of two important things. One, people read the news to learn the facts and not the asserted political positions of the paper. Two, readers look for characters in articles, as well as in movies and books, who they can identify with.

Americans are losing their wages, jobs, homes, health, and sanity in numbers unprecedented since the Great Depression, yet you will not hear their trials and troubles in your elitist newspapers. And if you do get a glimpse of the horror of your neighbors and fellow countrymen, you will most certainly never hear of what I will speak of next.

You will not hear about how illegal immigration is trapping Americans in a vise which is leading to the destruction of their lives.

I hope no one in America needs a lecture on how horrible losing your job can be when there are no other jobs available and that not being able to provide health insurance or even food for your children is a life threatening situation. Marching your belongings and loved ones out of your house in front of a Sheriff's deputy is a story Americans are living out in larger numbers daily.

Many studies tell us that American workers work harder, longer, and more productively than many others on the planet. We are known for getting the job done and done well. Before the recent political invention of "jobs Americans won't do" we got the houses built, the landscapes tended, the chickens plucked, and the bathrooms cleaned without 15 million illegal aliens in the country.

Here is the scenario and perspective you will not find in your newspaper that must be told to the nation.

It has long been a tradition in America for wage earners to take a menial job or an extra job, when times got tough for their individual families, a region, or during a national economic downturn.

If your husband was injured, the wife would take on an extra job waiting tables or as a cashier. If you lost your job, you would seek another one no matter what it was, as long as it would help you keep food on the table and a roof over you and your family's head.

In 2009, when you go to look for a new job of any kind you will find that many jobs are not even listed in the Want Ads because those jobs are filled with illegal aliens and a surplus of legal immigrants. The employers have no desire to spend money on newspaper ads, if they have an opening they just tell the foreman, ask their existing workers, or in some cases call up the drug and human importing cartels in Mexico to order a new shipment of illegal aliens workers, as was the case with Tyson Foods here in North Carolina.

So American workers are not even finding notices for many jobs in construction, landscaping, hospitality and food industries, agriculture, meat processing, textiles, raw materials production, etc...

And even if you do approach one of these employers, you may find yourself in the position that many ALIPAC supporters have reported.

The employers of illegal aliens and H2B visa immigrants do not want Americans in the mix. There is rampant discrimination against America workers because they do not speak Spanish, are more concerned about worker health and safety laws, and might contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement to report illegal workers and visa fraud.

Even if you did go out on your own to find the non-advertised menial jobs, and you made it past the discrimination factors, you still have two major hurdles.

One, multiple studies have documented the common sense knowledge that illegal immigration greatly depreciates wages for American workers and legal immigrants. As far back as 1968, the renowned labor leader Cesar Chavez patrolled the border and ordered his union to call Federal authorities to try and stop illegal immigration. Wages have been significantly depressed due to the intentional hyper inflation of the labor markets.

If you are a full tax paying and debt carrying American, many of these jobs now offer wages that are insufficient for you to even make ends meet!

But illegal aliens are not just in the menial jobs or unskilled labor sector of our economy. We have seen countless news reports over the last few years documenting illegal aliens working on commercial jet engines, or in nuclear power plants, or the technical fields?

With the almost minimal enforcement levels of our existing immigration laws, illegal aliens are working in jobs across the spectrum!

Anyone seeking a job in a call center or the Information Technology fields will find many of those jobs have been sent offshore to India. As for the jobs which remain here at home with Google, IBM, Microsoft, and many others, the positions are taken and being filled with H1B visa holders from India and China.

According to our unenforced existing immigration laws, an H1B visa worker can only be used, if an American worker cannot be found for the position and if the immigrant will be paid the same as an American worker would.

But, since nobody is enforcing those laws, many Global companies are intentionally throwing out their American workers and replacing them with foreign labor that will work for much less!

And if you go out in search of an American small business that plays by the rules and respects our laws, you will find fewer and fewer of them. Honest employers who hire Americans and legal immigrants have found themselves unable to compete with the low bids of less scrupulous competitors who hire illegal aliens. You won't hear their voices in this barage of biased articles either!

Only through the valiant efforts of talk radio show hosts and brave men and women like Glen Beck, Lou Dobbs, and Michelle Malkin will you hear these voices represented in the media. And each of them faces the same threat of smears and lies from the ideology fascists for speaking out for the innocent American workers and millions of victims of illegal immigration, corporate greed, and political corruption in our nation.

So American workers are facing what I call "The Great American Replacement Act" where Americans are being replaced in jobs, homes, schools, colleges, and at the ballot box through rampant illegal immigration combined with historically high levels of new worker visas being issued.

To ad further insult to injury, the illegal alien Amnesty supporting groups and politicians are now trying to claim that even though 11 Million Americans are out of work, we need Comprehensive Immigration Reform Amnesty right away for the approximately 7 million illegal aliens, which are currently holding jobs that our existing laws mandate are illegal for them to have in the first place!

How can so many politicians and people in the media ignore and neglect innocent Americans who are suffering and having their lives ruined? The dire consequences for Americans due to the bad economy combined with rampant illegal immigration are horrific. The fact that their stories are not told and their voices are censored by the print media is even more horrifying.

For things to improve for Americans, we need our existing immigration laws, and all workplace and financial regulatory laws fully enforced. Those left in the media with a soul need to illuminate these problems and side with the American public before it is too late.

We need to know how much the influence the billions of dollars in perks, contributions, and payoffs coming into Washington, DC (See Bill and Hillary Clinton) from Global corporations and countries hostile to the United States like Saudi Arabia and China are responsible for these dastardly, illegal, and unconstitutional policies.

The American public is no longer in control of our national destiny. We are no longer self governed or secure. We are not being asked for our support, we are being told we will suffer in silence or face aggressive ridicule. We are being dictated to by politicians who's pockets are lined with the gold of powerful bankers and foreign nations.

We are now entering an even more dangerous phase where many Americans are losing all faith in the political process. There is dangerous talk in private conversations, and many are saying "America has already been conquered without a shot fired."

Perhaps America's most powerful enemies have discovered how to take us with a Trojan horse? No adversary would want to take us on militarily or do anything to awaken the ire of the American populace. Our own politicians, bureaucrats, and Wall Street leaders have already deeply wounded this nation more than Osama Bin Laden's attacks on 9/11.

Perhaps they have moved on America's Achilles heal of greed and corruption to incrementally reduce the American populace to such a desperate level surrounded by financially empowered subservient foreign workers that we cannot defend ourselves.

If this is the case and if these atrocities are not corrected soon by political means, may God help us endure, survive, or prevail against whatever evil our conquerors have planned for us next.

Lou Dobbs Tonight
And there are some 800,000 gang members in this country: That’s more than the combined number of troops in our Army and Marine Corps. These gangs have become one of the principle ways to import and distribute drugs in the United States. Congressman David Reichert joins Lou to tell us why those gangs are growing larger and stronger, and why he’s introduced legislation to eliminate the top three international drug gangs.

Obama soft on illegals enforcement

Arrests of illegal immigrant workers have dropped precipitously under President Obama, according to figures released Wednesday. Criminal arrests, administrative arrests, indictments and convictions of illegal immigrants at work sites all fell by more than 50 percent from fiscal 2008 to fiscal 2009.

The figures show that Mr. Obama has made good on his pledge to shift enforcement away from going after illegal immigrant workers themselves - but at the expense of Americans' jobs, said Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the Republican who compiled the numbers from the Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE). Mr. Smith, the top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee, said a period of economic turmoil is the wrong time to be cutting enforcement and letting illegal immigrants take jobs that Americans otherwise would hold.
