The Gang of Eight immigration bill (S.744) passed by the Senate last June would have roughly doubled the number of new foreign workers allowed into the country, as well as legalized illegal immigrants already here.

North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagen (D) voted for it.

An analysis of government data by the Center for Immigration Studies shows that, since 2000, all of the net increase in the number of working-age (16 to 65) people holding a job in North Carolina has gone to immigrants (legal and illegal).

This is the case even though the native-born accounted for 61 percent of growth in the state’s total working-age population.

Meanwhile half of New York, New Jersey Pennsylvania and Ohio have moved here.
