Study: Foreign-born workers gain 656,000 jobs
By Morgan Lee

Signs On San Diego
Immigrants have gained more than 600,000 jobs since the official end of the Great Recession in June 2009, according to a newly released study.
Native-born workers fared far worse, shedding 1.5 million jobs, according to an analysis by the Pew Hispanic Center of U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Labor data.
Foreign-born workers picked up 656,000 jobs over the 12-month period, driving down that population's unemployment rate half a point to 8.7 percent. Immigrant workers make up 15.7 percent of the labor force.
The gains, however, were not nearly enough to make up for 1.1 million jobs lost among immigrants from second-quarter 2008 through second-quarter 2009. And immigrants experienced a sharp decline in median weekly earnings -- down 4.5 percent., compared to a loss of less than 1 percent for the native born.
"The unemployment rate for immigrants is still more than double the rate prior to the recession when it stood at 4.0 percent in the second quarter of 2007," the study said.
Released on Friday, the report was not able to separately identify illegal immigrants because that status was not recorded in the source data. It found that Hispanic immigrants experienced the largest drop in earnings of all ethnic and racial groups.
The report focused on the period from the second quarter of 2008 to the second quarter of 2009, when most of the job losses during the recession occurred, and the subsequent 12 months that marked the first year of recovery from the recession.

The danger, as Washington
Post economics columnist Robert Samuelson argues, is that of “importing
poverty” in the form of a new underclass—a permanent group of working poor.
*
“We could cut unemployment in half simply by reclaiming the jobs
taken by illegal workers,” said Representative Lamar Smith of Texas, co-chairman of the Reclaim American Jobs Caucus.
“President Obama is on the wrong side of the American people on immigration.
The president should support policies that help citizens and legal immigrants
find the jobs they need and deserve rather than fail to enforce immigration
laws.”
*
“Obama’s
rejection of any serious jobs program is part of a conscious class war policy.
Two years after the financial crisis and the multi-trillion dollar bailout of
the banks, the administration is spearheading a campaign by corporations to
sharply increase the exploitation of the working class, using the “new normal”
of mass unemployment to force workers to accept lower wages, longer hours, and
more brutal working conditions.” WSWS.ORG

“The principal beneficiaries of our current
immigration policy are affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard
wages for low-end work. Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American
workers lose $190 billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant
flooding of the labor market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor

OBAMA HAS FILLED HIS
ADMINSTRATION WITH PRIMARILY LA RAZA PARTY MEMBERS.
Here’s his Sec. Labor, HILDA
SOLIS:
While in Congress, she
opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien
benefits (including driver's licenses and in-state tuition discounts), embraced
sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security
officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass
amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro-illegal alien worker organizing movement
in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty-supporting Big Labor groups
led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now caused a Capitol
Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer-funded advertising and outreach campaign
to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:

The U.S. Department of Illegal Alien Labor
President
Obama's Labor Secretary Hilda Solis is supposed to represent American workers.
What you need to know is that this longtime open-borders sympathizer has always
had a rather radical definition of "American." At a Latino voter
registration project conference in Los Angeles many years ago, Solis asserted
to thunderous applause, "We are all Americans, whether you are legalized
or not."
That's
right. The woman in charge of enforcing our employment laws doesn't give a hoot
about our immigration laws -- or about the fundamental distinction between
those who followed the rules in pursuit of the American dream and those who
didn't.
While in Congress, she
opposed strengthening the border fence, supported expansion of illegal alien
benefits (including driver's licenses and in-state tuition discounts), embraced
sanctuary cities that refused to cooperate with federal homeland security
officials to enforce immigration laws, and aggressively championed a mass
amnesty. Solis was steeped in the pro-illegal alien worker organizing movement
in Southern California and was buoyed by amnesty-supporting Big Labor groups
led by the Service Employees International Union. She has now caused a Capitol
Hill firestorm over her new taxpayer-funded advertising and outreach campaign
to illegal aliens regarding fair wages:
"I'm
here to tell you that your president, your secretary of labor and this
department will not allow anyone to be denied his or her rightful pay -- especially
when so many in our nation are working long, hard and often dangerous
hours," Solis says in the video pitch. "We can help, and we will
help. If you work in this country, you are protected by our laws. And you can
count on the U.S. Department of Labor to see to it that those protections work
for you."
To be
sure, no one should be scammed out of "fair wages." Employers that
hire and exploit illegal immigrant workers deserve full sanctions and
punishment. But it's the timing, tone-deafness and underlying blanket amnesty
agenda of Solis' illegal alien outreach that has so many American workers and
their representatives on Capitol Hill rightly upset.
With
double-digit unemployment and a growing nationwide revolt over Washington's
border security failures, why has Solis chosen now to hire 250 new government
field investigators to bolster her illegal alien workers' rights campaign?
(Hint: Leftists unhappy with Obama's lack of progress on "comprehensive
immigration reform" need appeasing. This is a quick bone to distract
them.)
Unfortunately,
the federal government is not alone in lavishing attention and resources on
workers who shouldn't be here in the first place. As of 2008, California, Florida,
Nevada, New York, Texas and Utah all expressly included illegal aliens in their
state workers' compensation plans -- and more than a dozen other states
implicitly cover them.
Solis'
public service announcement comes on the heels of little-noticed but far more
troubling comments encouraging illegal alien workers in the Gulf Coast. Earlier
this month, in the aftermath of the BP oil spill, according to Spanish language
publication El Diario La Prensa, Solis signaled that her department was going
out of its way to shield illegal immigrant laborers involved in cleanup
efforts. "My purpose is to assist the workers with respect to safety and
protection," she said. "We're protecting all workers regardless of
migration status because that's the federal law." She told reporters that
her department was in talks with local Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) officials who had visited coastal worksites to try to verify that workers
were legal.
No word
yet on whether she gave ICE her "we are all Americans, whether you are
legalized or not" lecture. But it's a safe bet.

U.S.
jobs continue to flow overseas
Though
some companies have actually moved operations back to American shores recently,
the lure of cheaper labor in China, India and other foreign countries is more irresistible
than ever.
By Don Lee, Los Angeles Times
October 6, 2010
Reporting from Washington
One in a series of
occasional reports about the U.S. unemployment crisis.
Though some American firms are bringing
overseas work back home, evidence is growing that companies are moving more
jobs than ever to China and other countries — a trend that could exacerbate
efforts to bring down the nation's stubbornly high unemployment rate.
One sign of increased offshoring is the
rising number of applications for federal Trade Adjustment Assistance,
which usually goes to factory workers who lost their jobs because their work
was sent overseas or was undercut by cheaper imports.
For the six months that ended Sept. 30,
workers at about 1,200 offices and plants nationwide were approved for federal
Trade Adjustment Assistance. That's about 20% more approvals than in the same
six-month period last year, according to the U.S. Labor Department.
In addition, the most recent Commerce
Department data show that employment at the foreign subsidiaries and affiliates
of U.S. multinational firms grew by 729,000 in two years, to 11.9 million in
2008 from 2006. Over that same period, domestic employment by such firms
slipped by 500,000 jobs, to 21.1 million.
"The paradigm has shifted,"
said John Challenger, chief executive of outplacement and consulting firm
Challenger, Gray & Christmas. "Most companies see the next phase or
era of growth as global.… That'll still create jobs here, just not on the scale
when they were focusing on growth in the U.S."
That trend could further stall the
recovery, which many economists believe will continue to lack vigor while
unemployment remains at current levels — 9.6% nationally and 12.4% in
California. The government is expected to report Friday that the economy added
few if any jobs in September.
Among the companies that have recently
sent jobs overseas are Hewlett-Packard Co. in Palo Alto, CKE Restaurants Inc.
in Irvine and Hilton Worldwide, the McLean, Va., hotelier that maintained a
reservations center in Hemet employing 295 people.
Hilton's filing and comments indicated
it was moving the center to the Philippines to save money. "Across all
aspects of its business, Hilton Worldwide is committed to maximizing operating
efficiencies while maintaining service levels," Hilton said in a brief
statement.
Also moving to the increasingly popular
Philippines this year were JPMorgan Chase's telephone banking operations, from
Troy, Mich., and CKE is moving its technology assistance desk there.
HP is laying off an undisclosed number
of human resources employees in California and nine other states, transferring
their functions to Panama.
HP, CKE and Hilton would not provide
details of the job moves, which were disclosed in recent government filings.
The offshoring of American production
and jobs has been going on for more than two decades, with service firms more
recently pushing the trend. Experts say more offshoring could help U.S. firms
better compete in the global economy, thus boosting sales and profits that will
sustain them and generate new business.
Eventually, stronger, expanding firms
could create more opportunities for American workers, though that's not a sure
thing. More and more, for example, upscale engineering and development for
products manufactured in China are being done in China — not the U.S. — near
the centers of production.
"When companies succeed abroad,
people at home succeed," said Mihir Desai, a finance professor at Harvard
Business School.
Challenger agrees with that logic, but
he also said that some companies continue to engage in "pure labor
arbitrage," moving overseas simply for cost savings. That kind of
rationale may do little for building long-term value in the company or its
products and services.
Many others, he said, don't see much
choice but to do more overseas given the prospects of a hobbled American
economy.
But whatever happens long term, current
high levels of offshoring will add to the nation's employment hardships for
workers with college training as well as for lower-skilled workers.
PwC, the big accounting firm formerly
known as PricewaterhouseCoopers, last spring and summer laid off about 125
support staff members in client services, transferring the work to Uruguay.
Those positions were considered mid-level.
Dennis Donovan, a veteran
corporate-relocation consultant, said many legal and engineering firms already
have outsourced routine work overseas, and he sees a bigger wave of offshoring
by the burgeoning healthcare industry. At the same time, he sees fewer companies
moving overseas strictly on the basis of cost.
"Now it's R&D centers and also
for market penetration," said Donovan, a principal at
Wadley-Donovan-Gutshaw Consulting in New Jersey.
He said some American firms were
beginning to move call centers and other back-office operations — or
"in-sourcing" — back to the U.S. because costs in China, India and
other top outsourcing countries had risen sharply and quality hasn't been
consistent.
One example is Allstate Insurance Co.,
which in June opened a $12-million call center in San Antonio, where the
company expects to have 600 employees by year's end. Customer sales and service
reps earn a base salary of $27,000.
In picking Texas, the Northbrook, Ill.,
firm passed up sites in India and the Philippines, said Thomas Wilson,
Allstate's chairman.
"I'm a believer in
offshoring," Wilson said in an interview, noting that his overseas offices
have helped Allstate operate around the clock and compete with rivals that also
have gone abroad for services.
But even though labor will cost more in
San Antonio than in India, Wilson hopes for a bit of a public relations boost
from the move.
In a customer survey, he said,
"81% of the people said they would think better of the company even if it
costs more."
Even so, Wilson doesn't see his
company's overall domestic employment changing much anytime soon. And although
there are some examples of in-sourcing, their numbers don't add up to a lot
compared with the jobs being lost.
President Obama has complained that the
U.S. tax system encourages companies to invest and hire abroad, but a bill that
would have ended certain tax credits and deferrals to companies expanding or
moving overseas was voted down in the Senate last week.

How to Destroy America
Article by Frosty Wooldridge
(DO YOU THINK THE MEXICAN INVASION, OCCUPATION
AND EVER EXPANDING WELFARE “SANCTUARY” STATE IS GREATER THAN 2003?
October 31, 2003
In Washington, DC, several weeks ago, an
immigration-overpopulation conference was filled to capacity by many of
America’s finest minds and leaders. Writers, speakers, CEO's, representatives
from Congress such as Tom Tancredo as well as former governors graced the
podium. Bonnie Eggle, mother of the national parks ranger Kris Eggle, slain by
Mexican drug runners last year on our unguarded southern border--gave a
compelling speech that left not one dry eye in the place. Peter Gadiel, father
of Jamie Gadiel, spoke powerfully on how the World Trade Center took his son
and how nothing has been done since--to stop the flow of illegal immigration
into the United States. Even with the
facade of Tom Ridge's Homeland Security, 800,000 illegal aliens continue
walking, crawling or tunneling across the Mexican border annually. Their
accelerating numbers undermine America's ability to function.
During the conference, speaker after speaker astounded the
audience with facts on how fast the present administration and congress
continue dismantling the American Dream for average citizens. Mr. Rob Sanchez
of Arizona, showed how H-1b and L-1 visas have ripped one million high tech
jobs out of American worker's hands. Another
speaker told a packed audience how 'offshoring' and 'outsourcing', fully
supported by the president and congress have cost over three million American
jobs in the past six years. His prediction was even more depressing:
"In excess of three million more jobs will be 'outsourced' within four
years. Those American jobs are headed to Mexico, India, China, Pakistan and
Brazil."
