I am assuming no such thing.
We have this same conversation every 2 months or so.
(Does smoking marijuana causememory loss?)
About half the time I go and dig up the number of people who entered on marriage vias, H1-b visas etc
them we compare it to the number of foreignn born residents.
Here is one exmaple from Aug 2024
In case it matters, the US issues 65,000 H1-B visas per year and 18,000 CR! (marriage) visas per year. Even if we assume 100% of those persons become citizens (they do not) you are thinking of me as “uncaring” or whatever because I chose I refuse to let my thought be dominated by . . . (grabs calculator) . . . by 3.7%.
Hereafter please know that when I say “US-born persons lost 1.2 million jobs and foreign-born person gained 1.3 million jobs” I do so because that the way BLS calculates and …
Here is one from April 2024
Yes the US issues 85,000 H1-B visas, which lead to citizenship, per year.
up to 65,000 to persons with a bachelors (only,
and the balance (20,000+) for persons with at least a masters.
Should I back-out 85k from the 1.266m jobs that went to persons born abroad? Or would you rather do the math yourself?
Here is one that you and I had on June 6th 2025 (I thought you read it then)
We’ve been over this.
(Every 2nd month it seems)
I don’t choose the categories,
your government does. Your gov provides these numbers without telling us if the 2 million plus per year wrre foreign brides, H1b vusa holders etc.
We do know that
the 2m+ annual “foreign born” employment numbers correlate strongly with reports from ICE of 2m+ illegal border crossings per year
only 225,000 marriage visas are given each year.
only 65,000 H1b visas are given each year
Anyone who does not pretend…
