Garbage. Absolute garbage
We are ok with legal immigrants

We want them to get jobs

They got jobs. They are supporting themselves

Well this is a plan to take over American jobs :joy::joy::joy:

Legal immigration doesn’t mean that any number of immigrants should be allowed in legally or that there should be a legal route for everyone who wants in. There can be a wide range and disagreement over the number of and basis of entry of immigrants allowed in legally. But then if immigration laws are not enforced, all these negotiations and compromises in the legislatures are meaningless.
Of course, what you choose to believe is your business.

Not sure what the “WeWei Data” says but black unemployment has always been higher than any other race in the US. This was before mass immigration.

So that tells me, mass immigration is not the cause of higher black unemployment. As a matter of fact… the data suggests that an increase in immigration results in a decrease in black unemployment.

If they get here legally and work and support themselves why does it matter?

If they get here legally and are legally authorized to work here, that is fine. What “matters” and what doesn’t is something to be determined by the legislature when they set up immigration laws.

This is utter BS.

Who raised those millennials and zoomers?

Does this employment information point to those fears that you have?

What matters is the strangeness of people who consider themselves to be on the right having an issue with legally employed foreign born.

We have record low unemployment and not enough bodies for available jobs.

Maybe not first generation, but beyond that they do.

Myself and my brothers all call ourselves Americans.

My son definitely calls himself American.

Being born abroad and being American are not exclusionary

We are the best workers after all

I have no fears based on that employment report.

Not enough bodies . . . at prevalent wages.
Wages are, in part, a function of labor supply.

Like selling sand in the desert.
When the US gov opens the spigot and rubber stamps 2,556,164 illegal entrants into the country YTD (and sues Elon for reducing to hire them) it should not be surprising that 1.7 million of them get jobs.

This is not however “a labor shortage.”
This is “hiring cheap labor because the US gov’t opened the border and made it a criminal offense to refuse to hire.”

Sounds like natural born need to get off their asses and pull themselves by their bootstraps and actually be productive members for once instead of begging for special privilege and government aid.

Or we could have a real immigration policy,
jobs would go to people who were born here or who waited in line
and wages would go up.

It’s strange that inflation makes things cheaper and cheaper but wages (at best) keep pace with inflation. . . . Oh wait, it’s not strange border patrol reports it has rubber stamped 2,556164 people into the country YTD.
