From our friend at NAFBPO, with a message:

“And the U.S. continues to admit over 125,000 foreign workers every month, both permanent residents and temporary workers. Not to mention the illegals who successfully get in, perhaps as many as 30,000 a month.”

Unemployed Immigrants
By CATHERINE RAMPELL

Last year, and for the first time since 2003, foreign-born workers were more likely to be unemployed then their counterparts who were born in the United States.
Bureau of Labor Statistics

These numbers are from a new report released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The bureau found that the composition of foreign-born workers was roughly unchanged from the previous year. In both 2008 and 2009, about half of all foreign-born workers in the United States were Hispanic, and about 22 percent were from Asia.

Native-born American workers typically make significantly more money than foreign-born workers, with median weekly wages of $761 and $602, respectively.

This differential likely has to do with the types of jobs that immigrants and native-born citizens are more likely to hold. Foreign-born workers are more likely to be in service occupations, for example, while native-born workers are more likely to be employed in management jobs or professional and related occupations.
