RE :”Immigrants — both legal and illegal — have accounted for all of the job gains in the U.S. labor market since 2000, according to a report that highlights the stiff competition for jobs in a tight economy as Congress debates adding more workers to the mix.
The Center for Immigration Studies report, which is being released Wednesday, says 22.4 million immigrants of working age held jobs at the beginning of this year, up 5.3 million over the total in 2000. But native-born workers with jobs dropped 1.3 million over that same period, from 114.8 million to 113.5 million. “

That is certainly true here with legal immigrants : Koreans(#1), Indians, Pakistanees,....have overwhelmed this part of country and here in Maryland are getting great paying jobs, buying up expensive housing , paying extremely high taxes(its Maryland).

This is much different situation then the illegal situation in South-West and related areas.

Dont forget lots of Federal $$$ is here and that requires diversity promotion and affirmative Action.
And those groups above are getting the educations required for those $$$$ jobs.

12 years ago in AZ, 80-90% of the construction workers were Americans. By 2006, 90% of them were illegal immigrants, with one bi-lingual foreman. Yeah.
