So if the illegal job comparison is “off” then you ought to provide the REAL numbers. What are they? Tell us. How many of those “jobs” account for illegals if it’s not 50%?? I, for one, can tell you that I can leave my house in Houston, go shopping all day at several different places (not even including Fiesta) and never here ONE FREAKIN’ WORD OF ENGLISH..... Stopped to get my kiddo a Happy Meal the other day and the cashier asked the little black (not hispanic) boy in front of us if he wanted “pappas” with his burger. The boys was like “huh”? I had to bite my tongue really hard.... THANK YOU RICK PERRY! Get ready, you keep kissing that punk’s rear and you’ll be just as much to blame if he’s elected and turns us into Mexico. YES, HE IS TO BLAME because he WANTS illegals here and takes money from businesses who HIRE THEM ...
..............Every month, about 4 million jobs turn over in the United States because of workers’ leaving to take a better job, retiring, being laid off, and because of corporate restructuring, bankruptcies, etc. Texas’s share of this natural churn is about 320,000 jobs every month. During the last four years, this meant that more than 15 million jobs have been filled. Additionally, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that during this time Texas created 5,627,328 new jobs while shedding 5,348,238 existing jobs. If an immigrant changed jobs four or five times during that four-year period, filled four or five of those 15 million jobs. That doesn’t mean he was holding four or five jobs at once, or that every job filled by an immigrant represents a new immigrant in a new permanent job. The number of jobs filled is much larger than the number of new jobs created.
TPPF’s detailed response can be seen here. We point out that trying to draw conclusions about immigration and employment in Texas in isolation from other factors is problematic at best. Texas has a strong job-creation record as compared with the nation as a whole. This record is not only affected by immigration, but also by domestic migration (781,542 Americans moved to Texas in the past decade while 1.5 million moved out of New York and 328,695 moved out of Massachusetts, artificially holding the latter states’ unemployment rate down while increasing it for Texas), the effect of extended unemployment insurance on workers’ willingness to accept new employment or move in search of work, and by the dynamics of business creation.
TPPF contends that Texas’s record of job creation is due to low state spending and taxes, a predictable, low level of regulation, and strong property-rights protection, a sound civil-justice system, and minimal dependence on — or interference from — the federal government. These policies benefit Texans, as well as people who decide to move to Texas from other states and from other countries.
