New Report Finds Biden’s Economy Has Employed More Illegal Aliens to U.S. Jobs Than Americans
Townhall ^ | 06/09/2024 | Sarah Arnold

Despite President Joe Biden touting his economic “accomplishments,” a new report reveals that there are more foreign born workers in the United States than American workers.

New Bureau of Labor Statistics data released this week found that there are 637,000 non-American citizen workers in the country. On the contrary, nearly 300,000 native-born Americans lost their jobs.  

Economist E.J. Antoni told The Federalist that the government has added a significant amount of jobs that are primarily only held by foreign born workers, leaving Americans struggling to look for jobs. 

“No wonder Americans view economy so terribly: they aren’t the ones [with] the jobs; native-born employment is not only millions below pre-pandemic trend, but even below pre-pandemic level, while millions more foreign workers are employed today than Feb ’20, and back to trend,” Antoni wrote on X.

In its findings, the Bureau of Labor Statistics admitted that it is more than likely that the survey includes some illegal immigrants. 

“However, neither the establishment nor the household survey is designed to identify the legal status of workers,” the agency stated, noting that they have no record of knowing how many illegal aliens are working U.S. jobs.

Former President Donald Trump accused Biden of committing “economic war fare” against America’s middle-class. 

“The Biden border invasion is an all-out war on the working-class minorities of our country — and it is flat-out economic warfare on African American and Hispanic American families,” Trump said. “In less than 4 years, Joe Biden has imported millions of low-wage migrants and given them welfare, free healthcare, and work permits to undercut American wages.”

Antoni explained that when left-leaning outlets boast about Biden’s economy and how illegals immigration has helped the U.S., “they’re always talking about things like ‘Here are all the jobs they do.’ They never talk about all the costs that illegal immigration imposes.” 

“These people are using emergency rooms and they’re not paying their hospital bills. These people have their kids in public schools which they’re not paying taxes to fund. Illegal immigrants are imposing serious and significant costs,” he added. “Housing is another huge one. Where are these 12+ million illegal aliens staying? They are staying in apartments, they are staying in houses which means they are increasing demand and driving up rent prices. So you can say they’re adding production to the economy but they’re also adding significant costs.”

It’s another reason why Biden wants them here to pad the stats

Hate to say it; but the Americans who should be scooping up any new, good-paying jobs are layabouts. They are getting disability benefits for their “bad backs” and “emotional incapacitations”. Disability payments are the dream of so many out there, which is a gross shame.

The Townhall author Sarah Arnold made a TOTAL mess of explaining the numbers.

Let me help...

USA - May 2024 - Total Foreign Born Workers - 30.9 million

USA - May 2024 - Foreign Born Worker Increase - (+)637,000

USA - May 2024 - Total Native Born Workers - 130.45 million

USA - May 2024 - Native Born Worker Decline - (-)300,000

Replacements - That’s the idea. American workers are lazy, violent, stupid and generally unsuitable for employment. A new labor force is what’s needed.

A lot of "conservatives" including Freepers were in on that.

The point of capitalism is to get the maximaum amount of labor out of the least amount of wages. So this is a good thing right "Free Traitors™"?

Stories like this may have resonated with me ten years ago, but not anymore. I’ve had too many encounters and heard too many stories about American workers who have become increasingly defective over time.

The daily experience of a close friend of mine tells the story well. Works in the administrative unit of a health care facility. Seven workers in total: 5 American citizens and 2 (legal) immigrants. One of the five Americans is black, so it’s a fairly representative cross-section of American-born adults.

The immigrants are the only ones who are consistently capable and responsible on the job. The Americans are frequently absent, gossip endlessly on the job about stupid nonsense, and seem to have no interest in advancing in a career.

The Americans are the ones with tattoos, nose rings, and wacky-colored hair, too. And they always complain that they’re not paid enough, even though they’re not even doing their own damn job well enough to justify what they ARE getting paid.

More anti-American worker hate. You really are a reprobate. Can’t have the wages slaves acting like normal humans at work now can we?

Notice how the USA never imports lawyers, media types, journalists or politicians. Why is that?

You really do have low expectations of the people you hire, don’t you?

Wait, let me guess … you don’t employ anyone, do you?

This isn’t just the flood of unskilled labor with all the illegal aliens. Think also of the flood of H1bs who undercut Americans for White Collar jobs. Not only are they in a lot of these roles, but they also depress wages for White collar workers by an estimated 30%.

We need to secure the border, build the wall, deport millions of illegal aliens AND severely restrict H1bs. I would simply impose an annual fee for such a visa that would ensure it was more expensive to hire the foreign worker than it would be to employ an American. Companies would suddenly and magically discover that they didn’t “need” so many H1b Indians after all.....
