CIS says that immigrants have taken every job created.
What BS. It has something to do with wages. And Americans are doing those jobs now.
Are There Really Jobs Americans Won't Do?
Among the findings:
Of the 472 civilian occupations, only six are majority immigrant (legal and illegal). These six occupations account for 1 percent of the total U.S. workforce. Moreover, native-born Americans still comprise 46 percent of workers even in these occupations.
Many jobs often thought to be overwhelmingly immigrant (legal and illegal) are in fact majority native-born:
Maids and housekeepers: 51 percent native-born
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs: 58 percent native-born
Butchers and meat processors: 63 percent native-born
Grounds maintenance workers: 64 percent native-born
Construction laborers: 66 percent native-born
Porters, bellhops, and concierges: 72 percent native-born
Janitors: 73 percent native-born
There are 67 occupations in which 25 percent or more of workers are immigrants (legal and illegal). In these high-immigrant occupations, there are still 16.5 million natives — accounting for one out of eight natives in the labor force.
High-immigrant occupations (25 percent or more immigrant) are primarily, but not exclusively, lower-wage jobs that require relatively little formal education.
In high-immigrant occupations, 59 percent of the natives have no education beyond high school, compared to 31 percent of the rest of the labor force.
Natives tend to have high unemployment in high-immigrant occupations, averaging 14 percent during the 2009-2011 period, compared to 8 percent in the rest of the labor market. There were a total of 2.6 million unemployed native-born Americans in high-immigrant occupations.
Some may think that native-born workers in high-immigrant occupations are mostly older, with few young natives willing to do such work. But 34 percent of natives in these occupations are age 30 or younger, compared to 27 percent of natives in the rest of labor force.
It is worth remembering that not all high-immigrant occupations are lower skilled. For example, 36 percent of software engineers are immigrants as are 27 percent of physicians.
A number of politically important groups tend to face very little job competition from immigrants (legal and illegal). For example, just 10 percent of reporters are immigrants, as are only 6 percent of lawyers and judges and 6 percent of farmers and ranchers.
Estimates of Illegal Immigrants
We find that there are no occupations in the United States in which a majority of workers are illegal immigrants.
Illegal immigrants work mostly in construction, cleaning, maintenance, food service, garment manufacturing, and agricultural occupations. However, the overwhelming majority of workers even in these areas are native-born or legal immigrants.
Although illegal immigrants comprise a large share of workers in agriculture, farm workers are only a tiny share of the total labor force. Consistent with other research, just 5 percent of all illegal immigrants work in agriculture.
That’s correct.
Faction is the death of the republic.
Some Roman said that.
Because all the Rs and “conservatives” gave 0bunghole a pass on his non-eligibility, they are now stuck in the unconstitutional box in which they put themselves and have to continue to lie and get angry. It’s sickening. If they had courage they would have stood up against 0bunghole but no, they supported him and called people “birthers” and “kooks” and Levin was one of the worst.
People are so sick and angry at ALL establishment politicians, consultants, talking heads and media that there is no chance that Trump won’t win.
And their feeble attacks that Trump isn’t “conservative” merely damn whatever they think are “conservative” positions.
There is no way we can look at those numbers and think we should continue open immigration in this country.
President Xzins would call for a moratorium.
So, is this your way of saying that you're "personally opposed" to abortion, but you see benefits in the abortion rate among blacks?
The guy has said repeatedly he's talking about immigration injuring unemployed Americans getting jobs.
And I, too, think the black population has been cut in half by the abortionists' plans for America.
I know for a certainty that it has, but kabar's contention is that the nation would be in worse shape if black abortion rates weren't so high.
I didn’t hear him say it would be better. I heard him say it would be significant.
How about it kabar, is the United States better off or worse off as the result of killing 20 million black babies? How would America be different today if those 20 million babies hadn't been killed?
You seem to have a reading comprehension problem. I am saying that the elimination of abortion has other consequences beyond stopping the murder of infants in the womb. Are you denying what I am saying is not a consequence?
That's a non sequitur, EVERYTHING has some consequences.
Let's try this again:
Is the United States better off or worse off as the result of killing 20 million black babies? YES or NO
How would America be different today if those 20 million babies hadn't been killed?
And YOUR nic is on my list of Cruz FANATICS who are incapable of seeing reality. When Trump is the president, I want you to post many apologies for being wrong about everything.
Yes, I'm a Cruz fanatic--but I won't have to do much apologizing, because I'm only wrong about two percent of the time.
We’ll see about that....soon.
What a moronic statement! My father has no record of having been a bus, and it's not very likely that he will become one in the future. However, not so long ago, Donald Trump was a liberal's liberal, and that is cause for concern.
