Over the 2000-2005 period, immigration levels remained very high and roughly half of new immigrant workers were illegal. This report finds that the arrival of new immigrants (legal and illegal) in a state results in a decline in employment among young native-born workers in that state. Our findings indicate that young native-born workers are being displaced in the labor market by the arrival of new immigrants...

Can anybody say tancredo propaganda.
I have a slightly funny feeling that this could be an IBTZ moment.
Of course, I could be wrong. Interesting piece.
Quick, somebody go tell President Bush that illegals are invading our country by the millions and they are taking jobs away from American citizens and are committing a great many crimes. I'm sure the President will come to the aid of Americans if he only knew about this travesty. hehehe
On Fox & Friends there was a segment on the displacement of young workers by illegals but I didn't catch where they got their information.
Yep...I appear to be wrong on the IBTZ. So...I take it back.
However, I think this article is what I would call "advocacy." Not a bad thing, but something to approach skeptically. You know...lies, damned lies, and statistics.
It didn't take long for the idiots to arrive.
"I'm beginning to wonder if David Duke has put out another memo to Storm Front about infiltrating websites using illegal immigration threads. (FreeRepublic was on their list)"
LaRaza certainly has.
Last night my wife said a family of 6 showed up in the emergency room of the hospital where she works. The father said in broken english that they were all ill with some kind of stomach pains except the children appeared to be fine. In any case they all got "free" checkups and a social worker due to the fact that they had no insurance or money to pay for care.
By today they've probably already gotten their emergency food stamps and are well on their way to renting a house on the taxpayer dime.
Man! THAT must be why he have such historically high unemployment!
Oh, wait...
Can you post the link or the memo?
Chart 5 shows that even among males with 13+ years of education there has been a statistically significant decrease in employment. Something strange is going on because I don't believe for a minute that immigrants are displacing highly educated males. I suspect that there are social factors other than immigration affecting this. And those social factors are affecting all demographic groups.
It's too bad you don't have the guts to confront people head on and make your remarks behind their back.
"So, let me ask this single question: If half of all the new jobs are being filled by illegals, what would happen if the illegals suddenly had to go home, especially given the fact our unemployment rate is hovering somewhere between 4-5%."
Dont ask such logical questions
My explanation: Baby boomers are retiring. This analysis is flawed flawed flawed.
Take that back. Table 5 only looks at 16-24 year olds. Whatever is going on, it also affects the highly educated. Therefore, immigration is not the explanation.

Some business owners that wouldn't have been in able to stay in business or wouldn't have been in business in the first place if they didn't hire illegal aliens at wages below the going rate will go out of business. Other business owners that made a killing off of paying lower wages to illegal aliens will have to make due with a little less profit when they pay American citizens to work for them. I don't see a problem.
