Nevada has the largest share of illegal workers in the nation, with roughly 10 percent of its work force not authorized by the federal government, according to the Pew Hispanic Center, a nonpartisan research group.

The report published Tuesday shows a slight jump in illegal workers as Nevada's job market has shrunk amid record unemployment. Nevada's population of illegal workers was 9.4 percent in 2009. The Silver State's unemployment rate has since climbed to 14.5 percent, the highest in the nation.

I am a U-Haul dealer in Missouri and I had a couple move here from the Las Vegas area awhile back because they lost their jobs. They said they’d had their jobs for years, but they lost them and then they said......”but the illegals all have jobs! What about us Americans?!”

Doesn’t seem to bother the 14% unemployed.

Actual unemployment rate in 2010 for Nevada was 23.6%.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics just released a report called “Alternative Measures of Labor Underutilization for States, 2010.” It found that Nevada had a real unemployment rate last year of 23.6%, again, worst in the nation.

American citizens don’t matter except to provide for the freebies and goodies for the political and moocher classes.

All these illegals must be why Nevada has prospered so in recent years.

I’m from South Texas originally, but lived in Vegas for 4 years. Every time I traveled through the East or North East part of Vegas it reminded me of a somewhat upscale border town.
