More than 5.46 million foreign nationals received work permits from the federal government since 2009, according to a new report from the Center for Immigration Studies. Data uncovered from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency reveal that approximately 982,000 work permits were given to illegal immigrants and other foreign nationals unqualified for admission, most of whom crossed the border without inspection. USCIS is the agency within the Department of Homeland Security responsible for issuing work permits and processing applications related to President Obama’s executive action on immigration. On Tuesday, the Senate is scheduled to vote on a bill that funds DHS, while blocking funding that would allow USCIS to implement the president’s executive action.
The remarkable number of work permits granted by the federal government to law-breaking aliens better explains how all net jobs growth since 2007 has gone to immigrants. The government issued approximately 1.7 million work permits since 2009 to aliens whose status was not known, not recorded, or not disclosed by USCIS, according to the report. The report says employment is not authorized by law for approximately 1.2 million immigrants who collected work permits while having a temporary visa status.

Out of work? Can’t find something to get by on? Here is a big part of it.
Oh wait, the economy is going gang-busters.
Engineered by politicians from all parties.

Gimme a break.
Like the closet Amnesty mob at NRO gives a hoot about illegal immigration!
This must be the first day of their 2015 fund raising drive.
The imbecile in the White House hates Americans. His goal is to degrade America into a Third World nation whose vermin will eternally vote for radical Democrats.
Impeachable offense number 7.
Some of the writer(s) at Nat Rev care a great deal about the invasion - like Mark Krikorian - who is NOT an open borders type.
The writer for this piece is http://www.nationalreview.com/author/ryan-lovelace - who seems to care a lot about the invasion.
Looking at the way my neighborhood changed since then I believe it, Korean and India immigrants.
But I like tandoori chicken munchers............
This federal government is essentially at war with U. S. Citizens.
a big part of the reason why there are almost no jobs advertised for American citizens in USA these past 4 or 5 years
You need a job?
I have been reading Krikorian’s work for at least 10 years.
In 2005-2006, during the Bush-McCain-GOP Amnesty betrayal, I corresponded with him several times.
He was brilliant, passionate, and tireless in those years.
Then, a few years ago, the Southern Poverty Law Center labeled CIS (Krikorian’s think tank) as “racist.”
Corporate funding for CIS dropped substantially, and Krikorian’s principles buckled.
CIS began to hire and showcase immigration “moderates” like David North.
CIS completely stepped back from its political activity and focused completely on research, 90% of which is trivial.
Around 2013, Krikorian himself wrote a post at NRO advocating Amnesty for several million (3 million maybe?) illegals.
I sympathize when a man's livelihood his threatened, but that was the final straw for me.
yes
some leading engineering/science employers sometimes do not even offer interviews to some top=honors graduates of leading universities
...preferring to hire foreigners instead
so it is a mixed picture.
AND ....WHY do you think more American students don’t take engineering and science degrees? Well, the studies are harder, yes. But also...they are not stupid (as a group, anyway)... and the facts in the employment marketplace are well known...
1. many big firms prefer foreign workers
2. in some sectors like electronics, if a worker is over about 30 years of age.... and gets laid off...there is some very real discrimination against his/her ever getting another job.....the employers very much like to hire ‘out of the cradle’ the youngest people....if you’re over 35 or 40, you can almost forget ever getting hired again (or at least if you get another job, it may be after 3 or 4 years knocking yourself out trying several hundred applications..)
meanwhile, the firms continue to import and hire (mostly young) foreigners
these are not facts in 100 percent of companies, to be sure. but they do exist quite widely in many large firms...
so that the problems are very well known ... and this fact helps depress USA student enrollments in engineering and science
FINALLY, please note that some of our state funded universities PREFER foreign students! Why? Because the university can charge much higher fees to foreign students, so the campus budget is enhanced by taking in foreign students instead of Americans...really this happens a lot... many spaces in the entering class are taken away from Americans and given to foreign students instead, thereby further lowering the number of Americans taking engineering and science degrees.
Three things... all exist in siginficant degrees...some places more than others...but all are well-known facts and all 3 depress American student enrollments in engineering and science programs
Best,
fhc
oh yes, factor number 4.... the majority of new tech companies in SillyCon Valley are now started by foreigners, mostly from PRC or India, but some other places too.
Some of these companies hire on a non-discriminatory basis but we hear reports all the time that many of them are at least as biased in favor of hiring foreigners as are the so-called American companies that do it. So, that is factor number 4, only really in the last few years but very evident now.
In short, an American student has to think twice, or maybe three or four times, before committing to an engineering degree nowadays. That is, if s/he wants to get work (initially ... and after age 35 or 40).
Of course, a person might study engineering just because they enjoy it....
So...when do we finally take up arms against these tyrants? Way past time.
I thought the same thing, when I saw that it was NRO.
The couple who moved in next door are Chinese, or some such.. NEITHER ONE can speak a word of English. WTF? How did they get here and under what authority are they allowed to be here? Are they friggin’ spies or just one more excuse to deprive an American of their job?
