Maybe we need a new slogan to help boost the deaf employment rate: hire a deaf person, not an immigrant! Why am I saying this? I just read a column spotlighting John Moore, a deaf man who is volunteering because he can not find a job in landscaping. I don't know what the job market is like in his area, but I'm guessing that employers will choose to hire a non-English speaking immigrant (legal or illegal) to do landscaping work, before they will hire an experienced, English-speaking (or writing) deaf man.
