According to Camarota and Zeigler:
A new analysis of government data shows that all of the net gain in employment over the last 13 years has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal). From the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2013, the number of natives working actually fell by 1.3 million while the overall size of the working-age (16 to 65) native population increased by 16.4 million. Over the same time period, the number of immigrants working (legal and illegal) increased by 5.3 million.
In addition to the decline in the number of natives working, there has been a broad decline in the percentage holding a job that began before the 2007 recession. This decline has impacted natives of almost every age, race, gender, and education level. The total number of working-age (16 to 65) natives not working — unemployed or out of the labor force entirely — was nearly 59 million in the first quarter of this year, a figure that has changed little in the last three years and is nearly 18 million larger than in 2000.
Thus, the data do not support the argument of Schumer-Rubio proponents that the nation’s workforce isn’t large enough.
The argument that immigration creates jobs for natives fares no better in the Camarota-Zeigler study. Put simply, they find that it hasn’t happened during the past 13 years.
From the first quarter of 2000 to the first quarter of 2007, immigration levels were very high, yet the share of natives with a job actually fell. From 2008 to the start of 2013, an estimated 5.4 million new immigrants arrived, but job growth has been very weak during the recovery.
Finally, the data undermine the “jobs Americans won’t do” argument:

This is hard to believe unless all the natives are going on welfare...
this comment was good
The fact immigrants gain and citizens lose is a feature, not a bug. The democratic party wins with this as the illegals/legal immigrants vote for democrats and the unemployed gain dependency on govt programs so they vote democratic party too.
GOP is confused or bought off by business that loves the now cheaper labor.
The losers are tax payers and the lucky few with jobs.
The only other country where this has happened before was South Africa. By the time they extended voting rights to immigrants, the vast majority of them had arrived illegally.
Only 47% of American workers have full-time jobs. What a disaster even more immigration will do to this nation!
Our tolerance for debt-based welfare to immigrants is equal to our tolerance for the debt that we are willing to pass onto our children and grandchildren.
Reduce our tolerance for debt-based Federal Programs, and our tolerance for immigration will also be reduced.

Our Southern Border is under the control of Mexican Drug Gangs. An illegal attempt by AG Holder to challenge their grip failed with Fast and Furious.
Obama has allowed INS officials to increase the number of “got-aways” and to decrease the number of illegal alien invaders actually caught.
Gullible News outlets, such as The Wall Street Journal routinely run articles quoting Obamanation statistics that numbers of captured illegal alien invaders are down, and thus there is no such thing as the surge of illegal alien invaders from Mexico and other Southern Hemisphere Socialist Countries.
Most News outlets refuse to come to our Southern Border to document their obviously false assertions.
Most State Politicians cower when our sorry NINE SUPREMES dictate that the State has no authority to protect itself from illegal alien invaders.
As long as THE NINE SUPREMES have 4 Socialist Judges, there will always be a high risk that some gullible Judge from the Majority will cross over to the dark side and continue the destruction of our US Constitution as the signature accomplishment of the US Welfare State. Traitor John Roberts’ support of Obama’care’ is the most horrific example.
Thus, it is incumbent upon those of us who still value the US Constitution to oppose the dark side, what we now call Obamanation.

The purpose of passing a Federal “reform” immigration bill this year is to allow illegal alien invaders from Mexico, and other Central and South American Socialist Countries, to vote for Socialist-Democrats and appeasing RINOs in the 2014 and 2016 USA National Elections for more debt-generating welfare to future illegal alien invaders to become future Socialist-Democrat voters.
These future Socialist-Democrat voters should be called “McCain-Rubio Democrats,” as no other Senators have done more to encourage gullible RINOs to appease and otherwise cave-in to debt-dependent Democrats than these two sorry RINO Senators.
Stand your ground, FReepers! Raise the Gadsden Battle Flag!
It is us against the gullible supporters of Obamanation!
For example:
While Rubio and his Eight Senate Gangsters put out political smoke and mirrors to “get a bill passed this year,” nothing they have said will change the basic problem of aliens illegally invading the USA.
The Basic Problem: Illegal aliens invade the USA for Welfare and Wages.
Solutions that address the Basic Problem:
1.) End the Anchor Baby Law.
2.) End the Hospital Emergency Room No Payment Law (EMTALA).
3.) End ANY other Welfare to Aliens.
4.) Fine US employers $1,000 per day per employee who is an alien.
5.) Spend NO money on “securing the border.” It is a bottomless money pit.
6.) Spend money on Chainlink/ Concertina wire desert prisons for the EXISTING Federal Law for a mandatory 6 month imprisonment for repeat offenders who have invaded our Country more than once.
7.) Transfer Border Invasion Enforcement to the US National Guard in each State, and thus under the control of the Governor of each State. The less Federal involvement, the better.
8.) Repeal all State and Federal Laws that prohibit voter officials and Police from requesting proof of US Citizenship for any reason what so ever.
9.) Be as hostile to all illegal alien invaders as we should be to all Federal politicians and Federal Judges who vote for or support another Ted Kennedy-style amnesty bill with no significant Federal enforcement.
Contact your local TEA Party, and plan to kick the sorry RINOs and even sorrier Democrats out of Congress in 2014!
It is all about the money FReepers, YOUR tax money.
Much of the high paying jobs in High Tech have gone from older Americans to young Indian’s.
I know many in Silicon Valley who their last good paying job was training their replacement.
This is easy to understand. Just look at the enrollments in American universities. More PhD’s are awarded to foreigners than native born Americans. Look at enrollment in engineering colleges. When you get loads of welfare benefits why bother busting your behind in an engineering college?
There are no welfare benefits in their home country. So foreigners arrive with the desire to study & work hard to make a good living here.
50 million on food stamps
15 million collecting disability
?? million collecting unemployment
?? million collecting aid to dependent children
?? million on Medicaid
Rental subsidy
Heating subsidy
Free transport to medical facility
Free translator to medical if you do not speak English
Free contraceptives
Why should less ambitious Americans bother working?
Yes, there is a huge surplus of programmers in the world because the training period is short compared to educating an engineer. Engineers are still in short supply in US.

Recovery woes: America’s second-largest employer is a temp agency
100% NOT surprised
America (that is the rooted populations of these United States) will either wake up, now; or we may never have a realistic chance to wake up to meaningful effect. This is not about the virtues or vices of other nations. It is about the continuity of ours.

“STUDY: ALL NET GAIN IN U.S. EMPLOYMENT HAS GONE TO IMMIGRANTS”
Let’s see how Ryan/Rubio spin this.
NOT ‘immigrants’ - they’ve gone to illegals. Illegals who make up the servant class democrats hunger for... Dems are such jerks.
And that was the intention. Too bad half the public has its head up its a$$ and doesn’t care.
1. Blackmail, I call it: The pro-amnesty people threaten us with blackmail if this amnesty bill is not passed right now.
2. They threaten with stuff like the following:
a. The Republican Party will die away if the bill is not passed and 10 to 50 million illegal immigrants given an immediate pathway to citizenship.
b. or, if bill is not passed, there will never be another Republican Senator or Representative elected in our lifetime.
c. Or, we must not anger Hispanic community by defeating this bill, or there will be hell to pay.
3. Blackmail: What the blackmail people are saying is that white people, especially white men, don't matter anymore.
4. I say this: You know what you can do with your amnesty bill and your blackmail threat.
5. The last time I looked, there were a lot of angry white men out there who are not going to get on their knees and bow down to this blackmail called the 2013 amnesty bill.
All that needs to be changed by is "by the stroke of the pen" & they all will be Americans. Situation solved. (sarc)
