There are about 23 million immigrants in the labor force with about 8 million being illegal aliens. You keep mentioning illegal aliens as the cause and miss the elephant in the room—legal permanent immigrants. And add on top of that the 2 million guest workers at any one time who are in the workforce. The scarce jobs are going to immigrants, legal and illegal.
We can start by focusing on the illegal aliens. Frankly your estimate of 8 million illegal aliens in the workforce is low. I would estimate that number to be closer to 20 million. The figures that the Government uses of 12 million illegal aliens is a lie. It is closer to 30 million or about 10% of the population.
I don't know where you got your statistics on the illegals, but from that I've seen in the past, there are he lot more than 8M of them, more like 30M.
The scarce jobs are going to immigrants, legal and illegal.
Agree with that completely. I'm seeing the tech industry being overrun by 'legal' foreigners.
