How is this not the biggest political talking point right now: since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs.
The Great Replacement is in progress.
Let’s face it, many young native Americans are too damn lazy to get a job.
And we argue back, “Why do we have to bring IN those cheaper workers?”
The Biggest Political Talking Point Is: How will the Democrats cheat their way to political victory, this November?
Most of that number is due to retirement.
Here are the people retiring from 2019 to 2022.
2022: 5.6 million
2021: 5.4 million
2020: 5.8 million
2019: 5.7 million
As assuming 2023 had similar numbers we are talk about about 28 million people retired since 2019, and assuming overwhelming majority as in 90-95% of them are baby boomers who were born in the US, that’s 25 million in raw jobs lost by native born, so -1.5 million net actually means around 23.5 million new US natives found jobs.
Trump admitted more foreign workers in 2017, 2018, and 2019, before Covid, than Obama admitted in 2014, 2015, and 2016.
Just look at Japan.
Are you suggesting that foreign workers are taking the same jobs that native Americans are retiring from?
Very unlikely.
About 75% of immigrants have limited English language skills.
In addition, the foreign university degrees that most immigrants bring to the USA are not accredited by USA employers.
Bottom Line - except for the Asian Indian software engineers, most foreign workers have limited skills and work lower middle class jobs.
No what’s more likely is that native born are moving up to take those jobs vacated by retirement and the jobs they vacate, some of them are taking up by foreign born.
Sorry, the employment data is absolute.
Most Green Card and Naturalized workers are competing for lower middle class jobs.
They are displacing low skill and low education American citizens.
The obvious exceptions are Asian software engineers and clinical MDs and Dentists.
In that case, above average Asians are competing directly against above average Americans - by crushing the wage scale.

Yep dem foreignors are coming to where the gravy is. Has been
true since Columbus sailed in 1492. They took over, rounded up
the natives, put them on reservations, went to Africa brought in
their natives to do the slave work. Civil War to free them and now
they are becoming the ruling class. The world is ever changing and
so is the USA. So enjoy your three score and ten as best you can.
It’s not a talking point because the Red and Blue Teams of the Uniparty both intend to replace the current population.
Very true. Most of the younger folks from teens to mid 20’s do not seem to seek work. When us baby boomers were 8-10 or so we knocked on doors asking if we could mow yards, shovel snow out of driveways, or do anything to earn a buck or a two. I shoveled 3 driveways in a day in New Jersey (1955 or 56). In Hermitage, TN alone we have over 2,500 jobs open. We are just 10 miles East of Nashville.
Because we wanted the cheaper prices and voted FOR this with our consumer dollars. The companies had to choose between complying to stay competitive or go out of business.
Because of EEEO and DEI, they get preferences in the hiring process. I see it all the time. Some new hires can barely speak English.
BTTT!!!
