2/3 Jobs Go to Migrants During Obama Years
"Two-thirds of those who have found employment under President Obama are immigrants both legal and illegal, according to an analysis that suggests immigration has soaked up a large portion of what little job growth there has been over the past three years. ... 'It’s extraordinary that most of the employment growth in the last four years has gone to the foreign-born, but what’s even more extraordinary is the issue has not even come up during a presidential election that is so focused on jobs,' said Steven A. Camarota, the center’s research director" --Stephen Dina, The Washington Times, 11/1/2012
About the only change compared to past presidential elections has been that Democratic and GOP ruling elites were not able to keep the issue of illegal in-migration completely out of all primary discussions. But most candidates feel that if they make the slightest peep against the illegal invasion, they need to cover their cowardly rumps by then doubling down on praising mass legal immigration, often by saying that there should be even more of it. In the meantime our born-in-America unemployed, as always, take it in the neck--from both parties.
