\"mariantoinette\"Americans are hurting right now. Some 20 million people<\/a> are unemployed, or under-employed. Millions more have just given up and dropped out of the labor market. And many who have jobs are losing their grip on the middle class.<\/p>\n

Against this backdrop, along comes former investment banker and current CNBC contributor, Carol Roth, with a <\/span>solution to the \u201cimmigration problem\u201d<\/a> that, by comparison, makes Marie Antoinette seem in touch with the concerns of the average Frenchman, circa 1789.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe compromise\u201d that will solve the thorny issue of illegal immigration once and for all, according to Roth, \u201cis a new robust jobs program for non-U.S. citizens.\u201d No, she is not suggesting that the governments of other countries create jobs for their citizens in their own countries. What she is advocating is that the U.S. government create a jobs program for non-U.S. citizens here in the United States. And apparently any old jobs program for non-U.S. citizens won\u2019t do. What the U.S. needs is a <\/span>robust<\/i> jobs program for foreign citizens who want to work here.<\/span><\/p>\n

The homepage of <\/span>Roth\u2019s website<\/a> aptly poses the question, \u201cWho The $%*@ is Carol Roth?\u201d I think we can answer that question for her.\u00a0 Carol Roth is the poster girl for an economic and social elite that is $%*@ing out of touch with the concerns and realities of most Americans.<\/span>
