no, the BLS stats are snapshots...I bet my universe is bigger than their sample.

But I wouldn’t expect you to know that.

The data I cited are from the Bureau of the Census, not BLS.

Census Bureau data collected from 2009 to 2011, which allows for detailed analysis of all 472 separate occupations, shows that there were only a handful of majority-immigrant occupations. Thus, there really are no jobs that Americans won't do. Further, we estimated the share of occupations that are comprised of illegal immigrants, and found that there are no occupations in which the majority of workers are illegally in the country.

Immigrants, legal and illegal are taking American jobs and depressing wages. There is a reason why our labor participation rates are at 38 year lows or that this is the lowest teenage employment rates since the end of WWII. The native born are being screwed and the middle class destroyed.
