WHILE OBAMA HAS SQUANDERED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS BUILDING HIS PARTY BASE OF ILLEGALS, EASED MILLIONS OF ILLEGALS INTO OUR JOBS BY SOBOTAGING E-VERIFY, and A DROP IN WORKFORCE ENFORCEMENT AGAINST HIRING OF ILLEGALS OF 70%, SQUANDERING BILLIONS TO PROTECT THE BORDERS OF MUSLIM DICTATORS WHILE OUR BORDERS WITH NARCOMEX HAVE ONLY BEEN PUSHED OPEN WIDER FOR NARCOMEX...
NOW OBAMA MUST BALANCE THE BOOKS TO PAY FOR THE CRIMES OF HIS WALL STREET LOOTERS, BANKSTERS AND BIG OIL... so he will cut social programs to Americans!
NEARLY 46 MILLION AMERICANS ARE ON FOOD STAMPS... THERE ARE NOW NEARLY 40 MILLION ILLEGALS IN OUR BORDERS LOOTING!

UNDER OBAMA, TWO-THIRDS OF JOBS GO TO HIS PARTY BASE OF
ILLEGALS!
WHEN OBAMA MADE LA RAZA SUPREMACIST
HILDA SOLIS SEC. of ILLEGAL LABOR, HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. BUYING VOTES OF
ILLEGALS WITH OUR JOBS.
WHEN OBAMA NOMINATED SELF-STYLED “WISE
LATINA” SONIA SOTOMAYER TO THE HIGH COURT, HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING. SOTOMAYER
VOTED AGAINST E-VERIFY!
WHEN OBAMA SUED THE STATE OF ARIZONA TO
BLOCK E-VERIFY, HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING.
…IT’S ALL ABOUT PUTTING ILLEGALS INTO OUR JOBS TO BUY THEIR
VOTES AND KEEP WAGES DEPRESSED.
THERE ARE ONLY EIGHT (8) STATES WITH A
POPULATION GREATER THAN LOS ANGELES COUNTY WHERE 90% OF THE SERVICE AND
CONSTRUCTION SECTOR JOBS GO TO ILLEGALS USING STOLEN SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS.
THIS SAME COUNTY PAYS OUT $600 MILLION TO ILLEGALS ON WELFARE, AND ENJOYS A
TAX-FREE MEXICAN UNDERGROUND ECONOMY CALCULATED TO BE IN EXCESS OF $2 BILLION
PER YEAR!
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.
