Illegal Immigrants Outnumber Unemployed Americans (Legacy of Perfidy)
Free Beacon ^ | July 27, 2015 | Ali Mayer

Posted on 07/27/2015 1:20:36 PM PDT by lbryce

The number of illegal immigrants in the United States totaled 11.3 million in 2014, outnumbering the 9.6 million Americans who were unemployed in the same year, according to data from Pew Research Center and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS).

“An estimated 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants lived in the U.S. in 2014,” says a Pew report. “The new unauthorized immigrant total includes people who cross the border illegally as well as those who arrive with legal visas and remain in the U.S. after their visas expire.”

Of those 11.3 illegal immigrants, 8.1 million are participating in the labor force. “Unauthorized immigrants make up 5.1% of the U.S. labor force,” Pew says. “In the U.S. labor force, there were 8.1 million unauthorized immigrants either working or looking for work in 2012.”

In 2014, there were 1.7 million more illegal immigrants living in the United States than there were unemployed Americans. According to the BLS, the average number of unemployed Americans in 2014 was 9.6 million. The BLS defines an unemployed individual as someone who did not have a job but actively sought one in the past four weeks.

The obama is beginning to hit the fan hard, very hard and as it does no American will be able to protect themselves from it being flung at them as a flinging feces monkey, as more and more of obama's fecal legacies begin being implemented. The dour economy with the cooked booked numbers combined with all these Mexican Phd candidates floating around rootless, the combination of which will unleash an exponential social tsunami on us all.

This one-two punch was long in the making,deliberate and malicious is now beginning to come to fruition as the first of many legacies designed to rip his country apart from within and without from all across the varied social, economic,military perspectives, all becoming unhinged like Obama''s Perfect Storm.

And it’s safe to say that the number is much greater than 1.3 million.

Our elected representatives are representing citizens of other countries or their employers.

Worse yet, those citizens of other countries are in our country illegally.

The Democrats represent the illegal aliens.

The GOP represents the employers of illegal aliens.

No one is representing the citizens.

For the Republic to survive, the GOP must die.

GOP-RIP

Another article that pegs illegal immigrants at just 2.3 million more than they were 15 years ago...

Rubish!

In 2001, the Revised 2000 census figures for Illegal Immigrants was pegged at 9 million.

That nine million had essentially come over after Reagan’s amnesty which wound down around 1990.

I still can’t agree that nine million came over in the years 1990-2000, but only 2.3 million are supposed to have come over since.

Around 2004, Time magazine pegged the yearly inflow of illegals at 3.5 million. While I don’t think that is accurate either, I do think 1.5 to 2.5 were coming over.

And that is in one single year, not 15 years.

Just got back from a visit to my mother in north San Diego County. As near as I can tell, no one does his own yard work—it is all done by people who speak little, if any English. Nice and polite and definitely hard-working, but I’ll bet the majority are not in the country legally. Same is true for all of the little fix-it jobs that are being done.

Here in Southeast Missouri, lawn service guys are all American—often semi retired. They usually hire older teenagers (probably above 18 to avoid liability problems) both black and white to do the mowing, edging etc.

The jobs being done by Mexicans in San Diego could be first or summer jobs for American kids, but those jobs aren’t open to them there.

“The number of illegal immigrants in the United States totaled 11.3 million in 2014,”..........

Exactly how does the gubmint know that number? My guess is there are a hell of a lot more than 11.3 million. The illegals come and go as they please without “punching the clock” or signing in so how the hell do we know when and where they are entering?

How does the government know how many illegals are here? There is no way. The 12-million estimate is bogus. Most every illegal would flee when approached by a census worker that asks whether they are a citizen or not. So how do they even have a wild-ass guess.

You are correct. Summer lawn jobs used to go too Americans both College and high school kids. Now all those jobs are taken by illegal migrants, plus they are driving landscaping trucks without licenses or insurance..
