Title: Two Immigrants For Every New Job Since 2000 Post by: Chef Ramsay on February 12, 2015, 01:12:28 AM Quote 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 has grown 12 million since 2000, according to data at the Bureau of Labor Standards, said Steve Camarota, the author of the CIS study. That’s equal to three years of American births. The population of Americans aged 16 to 65 also grew by 16 million from 2000 to 2014, Camarota told The Daily Caller. That overall population of working-age immigrants and native-born Americans increased by 28 million, which is three times the number of jobs added since 2000. ...

If you are talking about legal and illegal immigrants, you shouldn't really say that United States has 'accepted' them. It may be misleading. :) Plus if you have job creation in skilled areas (which require immigrants) and job losses elsewhere, I would still say that immigration is acceptable.

There were about 5 articles about Obama on the landing page, all very negative.
The Daily Caller is so naive. Obama is not the problem, he's in control for 8 years total and then he's gone...a blink of an eye in the grand scheme of influencing the US path to prosperity. The problem is the voters. The voters choose how the country is run...either because they vote for it or because they choose not to vote. Wake up! |
