They Took Our Jobs! Study Finds ALL New Jobs Went to Immigrants

Yes, and why WOULD employers hire American citizens at a "living wages",
along with healthcare and numerous other benefits, when the U.S. Government
is allowing millions of non-citizens to enter the country who will work for
much less  pay and no benefits?

"A shocking new report from the Center for Immigration Studies claims to
prove that every single new job created in America for the last fourteen
years has gone to immigrants, legal and illegal. This would fly in the face
of those who claim that immigration is an economic boon to native born
Americans:"

"The CIS report found that over the last 14 years, people who were born in
the United States held 114.8 million jobs in 2000, and held 114.7 million
jobs in 2014, a drop of 127,000."

"But it's an entirely different picture for immigrants - 5.7 million more
jobs were held by immigrants in the U.S. in 2014 compared to 2000."

"Immigration advocates often say that immigrants don't supplant jobs for
Americans, that they do jobs Americans won't, but if that were the case,
there would be more jobs of both, instead of a loss for native born
Americans."

"All of the net increase in employment went to immigrants in the last 14
years partly because, even before the Great Recession, immigrants were
gaining a disproportionate share of jobs relative to their share of
population growth," the report found. "In addition, natives' losses were
somewhat greater during the recession and immigrants have recovered more
quickly from it."

"Now there are all sorts of complicated reasons why this would be the case -
immigrants are more willing to relocate to places where there are more jobs,
they take lower wage jobs which are more in abundance in a weak economy, and
they also have much fewer unemployment insurance options, so they're more
likely to pursue jobs than native born citizens who can rely on social
services."

"Even so, as many advocate for "comprehensive immigration reform," America
must demand from their representatives an answer to this question - if
immigrants are taking all new jobs under the current broken system, why
shouldn't we expect it to get worse with an amnesty bill that rewards
illegal immigrants crossing our border?"
