What makes you think 12 million Americans have the right skills? Or did you mean “unskilled”?

[Beowulf9]

Did they count POTUS?

So what would happen to the unemployment numbers if these "undocumented" workers are granted amnesty and made legal? Employers who want cheap labor would find new illegals to replace the newly legal ones, who would then be on the unemployment rolls....

Obama knows NOTHING about economics.

12,151,113 Skilled American jobs taken by Illegal Immigrants.

How "skilled" could the job possibly be if some uneducated goober who doesn't speak English can just cross the border and take it? The "skilled" jobs are being outsourced to India and China.

“12,151,113 Skilled American jobs taken by Illegal Immigrants.”

I wish someone would spell that out for “O” in terms $$$$ expense passed on to American citizens:

• Tax revenues which are NOT collected
• Gratis consumption of community resources (school/fire dept./police./social services Etc.)
• Expense to taxpayers for legal proceedings and incarceration of criminal undocumented
• Exploitation of infrastructure by persons NOT contributing to its maintenance
• Explosion of health care cost on PAYING citizens who now subsidize freebies for illegals’
• Compromising the integrity of ALL census and voting data

I shouldn’t even let myself go on because I just get depressed.

Are you sure it isn't 12,151,114 or maybe 12,151,112?

Estimates that pretend that precision are suspect; I wouldn't get too worked up about them.
