Two Immigrants For Every New Job Since 2000
Daily Caller ^ | 2/10/15 | Neil Munro

Posted on 02/10/2015 9:33:59 PM PST by Nachum

The United States has accepted two new immigrants for each additional job created since 2000, according to federal data.

The data shows that 18 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the United States from 2000 to 2015, while only 9.3 million additional jobs were created, according to the Center for Immigration Studies, which favors a reduced level of immigration.

After subtracting deaths, departures and retirements among the immigrants, the working-age population of immigrants grew 12 million since 2000, according to data at the Bureau of Labor Standards, said Steve Camarota, the author of the CIS study.

The working-age population of Americans aged 16 to 65 also grew by 16 million, Camarota told The Daily Caller. That’s a combined working-age population increase of 28 million, which is three times the number of jobs added since 2000.

Immigrant inflow needs to slow down drastically for a 10 year period.

America can’t help the world if America is unstable. Right now, in many ways, we are unstable.

“the working-age population of immigrants grew 12 million since 2000” “working-age population of Americans aged 16 to 65 also grew by 16 million”

Those are alarming juxtaposed statistics.

I've finally, after 5 years, got myself some full time work. Half of those hired with me have already washed out. They were young kids who have no idea of just how bad things really are. If they realized that it's only going to get worse they would have put in the effort I did to stay employed. They've been fooled by a lying media into a false sense of complacency. Of course the propaganda and lies of the redstream media is just one of the symptoms of the decline and fall. About the only sign of hope I see is the Convention of States movement. It's either that or violent revolution down the road. History makes it clear to me , at least , that theses are the only paths America is going to take at this point.

Why not print this questionaire up encircle your answers and send it to your US Senator

Dear Senator
INS...Amnesty.. Forget about Ebola
We don’t allow cattle to enter without a background health and ancestry check which we also reqiure of legal immigrants who wait years and still go thru health and record checks. We also require that any legal immingrant demonstrate prior to entry that they offer a contribution to our society and not dependency upon it .

Yet we’re letting children and gang bangers in without doing any of this which has resulted in dispersing virulent new diseases (measles) and drug use which has resulted in unreported cases in schools where these illegal kids were placed.. Plus shoved a severe financial strain on local governments where they are placed .

Should any candidate for Attorney General supporting that practice be denied confirmation ?(Yes) (No) .Should those given this bypassed favored treatment who miss their INS hearing be deported fortwith ? (Y) (N).. ? Denied re-entry (Y)(N) ?

In “countries where an American citizen decides to be a “legal” emigree never mind being a seasonal visitor still are denied voting privledges. Own land in their own name. Face steep fines before getting kicked out let alone denied income and energy subsistance including food stamps, or bring in family members .

I (do) (don’t) believe we should allow such full citizenship privledges mentioned above which are denied by the country of national origin of the above, to a legal American immigrant , deny such full citizen privledges to any (emigree) (seasonal vistor) (illegal) if their country does not allow those same privledges to any citizen of the United States, .
While such a position will be condemed as defacto deportation particularly by the political establishment .

Would you continue to support a Senator who refuses to support such restrictions ? (Y) (N) Does that also include erecting border barriers such as fencing designed to discourage surrepticious or uncontolled entry ? (Yes) (No)

Should any American citizen which goes overseas to join a foreign entity fighting against the United States (such as ISIS) Be denied re-entry (Y)(N) and their citizenship revoked? (Y) (N) Should that person be charged with treason (Y)(N)

Very Truly Yours For Restoring the value of American citizenship and Conservative Government

That’s been MY view for a long time now.

A moratorium on ALL immigration until/unless the terrorist situation is resolved.

PERIOD

THEN revisit the matter WITH a more equitable agenda.

And by ‘equitable’ I mean, fair to US citizens who as always, will bear the burden of tens of thousands of new residents who WILL NOT/CANNOT assimilate.

Because let’s face it… if you do not/will not assimilate, you are a BURDEN to indigenous populations.... NO MATTER WHERE you live!!!!!

America badly needs someone (anyone) in either political party to start supporting American jobs once again.

NOBODY is doing one single thing, and America continues to send out very own jobs all around the globe.

GOP stand up. Bring back American jobs.

9.3 million additional jobs were created

By 2007 millions of jobs were created.. and

notice that the Obama job gains are merely the ones lost while Obama and the Dems were occupied destroying our healthcare system.

Foreign born includes ILLEGAL aliens. Gov't figures do not separate legal and ILLGAL but include both as one.

Notice that domestic born lost jobs between 2007 and the number for 2014 while the foreign born gained jobs.

Just adopt what countries like New Zealand are doing. To get a resident visa there, you must have a skill needed there, or bring $1.5 million with you. And then you must pass their English test to qualify. Eliminates most undesirable immigrants.
