Jobs report is a boom for migrants, slump for Americans
Fox Business ^ | September 6, 2024 | Michael Dorgan

Posted on 09/08/2024 8:19:18 AM PDT by MinorityRepublican

The new August jobs report shows employment numbers of U.S.-born workers and foreign-born workers going on two very different trajectories.

Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an arm of the Department of Labor, shows native-born Americans lost more than 1.3 million jobs over the last 12 months, while foreign-born workers gained more than 1.2 million jobs.

The news comes as U.S. job growth picked up in August but missed economists' expectations, while the unemployment rate changed little.

As of August of this year, there are 129,712,000 native-born workers compared to 131,031,000 in August 2023, meaning a plummeting reduction of 1,319,000 jobs.

In comparison, there were 31,636,000 foreign-born workers in the U.S. as of last month, compared to 30,396,000 in August 2023, a surge of 1,240,000 jobs.

The figures do not differentiate between foreign-born workers who entered the country with authorization, i.e. Green Card holders and those with working visas, and those who entered without prior authorization.

The U.S. has witnessed a surge of immigrants under the Biden-Harris administration, with figures from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) showing a net gain of more than 9 million immigrants since the end of 2020.

About 2.6 million of those immigrants are lawful "permanent residents," which includes green-card holders and other immigrants who came through legal channels such as family or employment-based visas. The remaining 6.5 million foreign nationals, referred to as "other foreign nationals," are made up of those who crossed the southern border without prior authorization.

Illegal alien slave labor makes the big boyz more money than paying Americans. This shouldn’t be a shock. Broke Americans with no money is exactly what the far-left communists want.

Why aren’t these companies punished for hiring illegals? Make it against the
law to hire them. That will help the invasion.

If they are willing to admit to 6.5 million illegals, the real number is probably 2-3 times as high.

There are laws in place. Been there since the 80’s.

They are not being enforced, like a lot of other laws.

I don't think it's that complicated. This seems more like a major demographic issue. The biggest displacement of American-born workers in many areas these days is from retirement.

Yep, as Phil Valentine used tos say, Demagnetize America. Make it so prohibitively expensive to companies that hire illegal aliens that they won’t take a chance at hiring them. Impose a mandatory $5,000 fine for each illegal alien hired.

Is there anyone on this forum who still does not believe that our government has turned against us and is importing their new voter base? Our federal, state and local governments have gone rogue and is actively impoverishing and enslaving us.

It's already against the law to employ someone here illegally. It's also against the law for any group, agency or official to aid and abet illegal immigration. The gop don't care, because they sold out to corporate powers, and dems sold out to other interests.

Republicans and Democrats are hellbent on replacing the forgotten man with the foreign man.

Illegal immigration has NOTHING to do with CHEAP LABOR. It has EVERYTHING to do with EMPOWERING ILLEGALS as VOTERS TO ENSURE DEMONRATS STAY IN POWER while FORCING WHITES INTO DESTITUTION and eventual die off.

There. I said it. 'REPLACEMENT THEORY' is as much a mere conspiracy theory as Hunter's laptop being Russian disinformation.

Add ABORTION as another ASSAULT ON WHITES TO ERASE WHITES FROM WESTERN CIVILIZATION. Blacks too, but mostly an assault on the white population.

Trump is calling for skilled migrants with AI coming. So you, your children can kiss you good paying college degree jobs goodbye to. The uniparty is replacing you.

No one in gov’t or public organizations seem to give a hoot.
The world is ever changing and things we grew up with are
ever changing and wouldn't be recognizable to us in 100 yrs.

> Make it so prohibitively expensive to companies that hire illegal aliens that they won’t take a chance at hiring them. Impose a mandatory $5,000 fine for each illegal alien hired.

Extrapolating that policy, charge companies $50K/year registration fee for each illegal migrant employed, with a penalty to the company of $500K/year for any unregistered illegal migrant.

Do this at the federal level and at the state level.

Use the money for paying down the federal and state debts, any excesses going into the federal and state general funds.

Issue $5K rewards for any reports that lead to the discoveries of any unregistered illegal migrant worker.

Totally discontinue and eliminate the H1-B and related visas.

Make owning US property by foreign individuals and foreign companies illegal.

(I have a dream...)

I thought it was already against the law to hire illegals. Apparently it’s just another law that isn’t being enforced.
