Two-thirds of jobs go
to immigrants during Obama’s four years
Researchers say legals
and illegals are more mobile than natives in America
The Washington Times
October 31, 2012
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.
The Center for Immigration Studies is releasing the study Thursday
morning, a day ahead of the final Labor Department unemployment report of the
campaign season, which is expected to show a sluggish job market more than
three years into the economic recovery.
That slow market, combined with the immigration numbers, could
explain why Mr. Obama and Republican nominee Mitt Romney have struggled to find
a winning jobs message in some of the country's hardest-hit postindustrial
regions.
"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, who wrote the report along with demographer Karen Zeigler.
His numbers are stark: Since the first quarter of 2009, the number
of immigrants of working age (16 to 65) who are employed has risen 2 million,
from 21.2 million to 23.2 million. During the same time, native-born employment
has risen just 1 million, to reach 119.9 million.
It's a trend years in the making: Immigrants are working more, and
native-born Americans are working less.
In 2000, 76 percent of natives aged 18 to 65 were employed, but
that dropped steadily to 69 percent this September. By contrast, immigrants
started the last decade at 71 percent employment and rose to a peak of 74
percent at the height of the George W. Bush-era economic boom. They since have
slid down to 69 percent amid the sluggish economy.
Competitive advantage
The Center for Immigration Studies, which wants the government to
impose stricter limits on immigration, based its numbers on the Census Bureau's
Current Population Survey.
Alex Nowrasteh, a policy analyst at the Cato Institute, which
favors letting the markets rather than the government control the flow of
immigration, said Mr. Camarota's numbers are "making a mountain out of a
molehill."
He said delving into specific numbers explains why immigrants have
done better over the past four years: They generally gravitate toward parts of
the economy that have picked up faster in the nascent recovery.
"Most of the areas of the U.S. economy that are hiring right
now, like agriculture and high-tech industries, are those where immigrants have
always been overly represented," Mr. Nowrasteh said.
He also said immigrants are quicker to jump into the rebounding
job market while native-born Americans, who under federal law have more welfare
options and access to unemployment benefits, are slower to find work.
Mr. Nowrasteh and Mr. Camarota said another factor could be
immigrants' mobility.
Natives have roots wherever they live, and it may take higher
wages to get them to move for jobs, even if their homes are in depressed areas.
Immigrants already have uprooted themselves and can more easily pick places
where jobs are available.
Indeed, Mr. Camarota's numbers show that most of the immigrant
employment growth went to new arrivals, not to foreign-born residents already
in the United States — a figure that suggests immigrants already settled here
were having some of the same difficulties as the native-born.
There is some bright news: an uptick over the past year among
native-born Americans accounting for two-thirds of all new employment growth.
Full overhaul
Net immigration — both legal and illegal — averaged more than 1.1
million in the 1990s and slightly less than 900,000 in the past decade.
Mr. Camarota said it didn't slow much despite the economic
downturn.
"We have a situation
where the job market — the bottom fell out, yet we kept legal immigration
relatively high without even a national debate," he said. "As a
consequence, a lot of the job growth has been going to immigrants."
Immigration has been a touchy political issue for more than a
decade, and while all sides agree that the system is broken, efforts to
overhaul it in 2006 and 2007 fell short.
This campaign, Mr. Romney and Mr. Obama have talked about
streamlining the legal immigration system to allow in more high-tech workers.
Mr. Romney has said he wants to "staple a green card" to every
advanced degree in science, mathematics or engineering earned by an immigrant.
Beyond that, Mr. Obama has vowed to make legalizing illegal
immigrants a major push in a second term — and has said if he wins re-election,
he thinks Republicans will embrace that goal, realizing that otherwise,
Hispanic voters will reject the GOP.
Mr. Romney has talked about legalizing a small number of illegal
immigrants, though he has been studiously vague about his specific plans in an
effort to try not to alienate voters on either side of the issue.
Mr. Obama did take action
this year to grant many illegal immigrants up to 30 years of age a tentative
legal status that prevents them from being deported and authorizes them to work
in the United States.
Some Republicans in
Congress have criticized Mr. Obama's policy, saying it violates his powers and
will mean more competition for scarce jobs.
Mr. Romney has said he would not rescind any stays of deportation that
Mr. Obama issues but wouldn't issue any new ones himself.
The current system doles out legal visas based on family ties or
employment prospects or even a random lottery designed to increase the
diversity of those coming to the United States.
In 2007, senators proposed scrapping the legal system and
replacing it with a points-based system that would assign a desirability grade
to would-be immigrants. Work skills would have gained under that system.
But that proposal, along with the rest of the bill, collapsed amid
a bipartisan Senate filibuster.
Mr. Nowrasteh at the Cato Institute said those decisions shouldn't
be left up to bureaucrats anyway.
"The government can't pick winners and losers when it comes
to green-energy firms like Solyndra, so what makes you think it can pick
winners and losers when it comes to immigration?" he asked rhetorically.

Why the new
jobs go to immigrants
By David R. Francis
Wall Street
cheered and stock prices rose when the US Labor Department announced last
Friday that employers had expanded their payrolls by 262,000 positions in
February.
But it
wasn't entirely good news. The statisticians also indicated that the share of
the adult population holding jobs had slipped slightly from January to 62.3
percent. That's now two full percentage points below the level in the
brief recession that began in March 2001.
Why the
apparent contradiction? Reasons abound: population growth, rising retirements.
But one factor that gets little attention is immigration.
In the past
four years, the number of immigrants into the US, legal and illegal, has
closely matched the number of new jobs. That suggests newcomers have, in
effect, snapped up all of the new jobs.
"There
has been no net job gain for natives," says Andrew Sum, an economist at
Northeastern University.
In the
US, President Bush calls for giving millions of illegal immigrants a kind of
guest-worker status as a legal path to US citizenship. So far, no specific
legislation to implement his suggestion has been put before Congress.
Meanwhile,
US border patrols spend millions of dollars a year trying to keep illegals out.
And yet, they keep coming, evidently little discouraged by recession or the
9/11 attacks. In the past four years alone, the number of immigrants ran some
2.5 million to 3 million, of which about half were illegal.
They
come for jobs, of course. And the Bush administration makes barely any effort
to enforce current law. In 2003, a total of 13 employers were fined for hiring
undocumented employees.
In fact,
neither Republicans nor Democrats have promoted enforcement of immigration law
prohibiting the hiring of illegal immigrants, says Mr. Sum, head of
Northeastern's Center for Labor Market Studies.
What
employers really want in many cases by hiring immigrants is to hold down wage
costs, experts say.
Most Mexican
Immigrants in New Study Gave Up Jobs to Take Their Chances in U.S.
By NINA BERNSTEIN
New York Times
A report about the work lives of
recent Mexican immigrants in seven cities across the United States suggests
that they typically traded jobs in Mexico for the prospect of work here, despite serious bouts of
unemployment, job instability and poor wages.
The report, released Tuesday by
the Pew Hispanic Center, was based on surveys of nearly 5,000 Mexicans, most of
them here illegally.
Those surveyed were seeking
identity documents at Mexican consulates in New York, Atlanta and Raleigh,
N.C., where recent arrivals have gravitated toward construction, hotel and
restaurant jobs, and in Dallas, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Fresno, Calif., where
they have been more likely to work in agriculture and manufacturing.
Unlike the stereotype of jobless
Mexicans heading north, most of the immigrants had been employed in Mexico, the
report found.
Once in the United States, they
soon found that their illegal status was no barrier to being hired here. And
though the jobs they landed, typically with help from relatives, were often
unstable and their median earnings only $300 a week, that was enough to keep
drawing newcomers because wages here far exceeded those in Mexico.
"We're getting a peek at a
segment of the U.S. labor force that is large, that is growing by illegal
migration, and that is bringing an entirely new set of issues into the U.S.
labor market," said Rakesh Kochhar, associate director for research at the
Pew Hispanic Center and author of the study.
The report suggested that policies
intended to reduce migration pressures by improving the Mexican economy would
have to look beyond employment to wages and perceptions of opportunity.
The survey found that the most
recent to arrive were more likely to have worked in construction or commerce,
rather than agriculture, in Mexico. Only 5 percent had been unemployed there;
they were "drawn not from the fringes, but from the heart of Mexico's
labor force," the report said.
After a difficult transition in
their first six months in the United States - about 15 percent of the
respondents said they did not work during that time - the rate of unemployment
plummeted, to an average of 5 percent.
But in one of the most striking
findings, 38 percent reported an unemployment spell lasting a month or more in
the previous year, regardless of their location, legal status or length of time
in the United States.
"These are workers with no
safety net," Mr. Kochhar said. "The long-run implication is a
generation of workers without health or pension benefits, without any
meaningful asset accumulation."
On the other hand, Mr. Kochhar and
Roberto Suro, director of the Pew Hispanic Center, said the flexibility of this
work force was a boon to certain industries like home construction, an
important part of the nation's economic growth since the last recession.
Among respondents to the survey,
those who settled in Atlanta and Dallas were the best off, with 56 percent in
each city receiving a weekly wage higher than the $300-a-week median. The worst
off were in Fresno, where more than half of the survey respondents worked in
agriculture and 60 percent reported earning less than $300 a week. The lowest
wages were reported by women, people who spoke little or no English, and those
without identification.
To some scholars of immigration,
the report underlines the lack of incentives for employers to turn to a guest
worker program like the one proposed by President Bush because their needs are
met cheaply by illegal workers - and all without paperwork or long-term
commitment.
Guest workers might instead appeal
to corporations like Wal-Mart, the scholars said, where service jobs are now
the target of union organizing drives.
"You can't plausibly argue
that immigrant-dominated sectors have a labor shortage," said Robert
Courtney Smith, a sociologist and author of "Mexican New York:
Transnational Lives of New Immigrants." Instead, he said, the report and
evidence of falling wages among Mexican immigrants over time point to an
oversupply of vulnerable workers competing with each other.
But Brendan Flanagan, a spokesman
for the National Restaurant Association, which supports a guest worker program,
disagreed. "In many places it is difficult to fill jobs with domestic
workers," Mr. Flanagan said. "We've seen a simple lack of applicants,
regardless of what wage is offered."
Although the survey, conducted
from July 2004 to January 2005, was not random or weighted to represent all
Mexican immigrants, it offers a close look at a usually elusive population.
Those surveyed were not questioned
directly about their immigration status, but they were asked whether they had
any photo identification issued by a government agency in the United States.
Slightly more than half over all, and 75 percent in New York, said they did
not.
The migration is part of a
historic restructuring of the Mexican economy comparable to America's
industrial revolution, said Kathleen Newland, director of the Migration Policy
Institute, a research organization based in Washington.
The institute released its own
report on Tuesday, arguing that border enforcement efforts have failed.
Workplace enforcement, which has been neglected, would be a crucial part of
making a guest worker program successful.
For now, Mexicans keep arriving
illegally.
"It doesn't matter if it's
winter," said Ricardo Cortes, 23, a construction worker waiting for a
friend outside the Mexican consulate in New York on Tuesday. "People are
still coming because there's no money over there."
