Of the jobs “created” under Obama over the past almost four years, two-thirds of them have gone to “immigrants,” or as the article says “to the foreign-born.”

The Browning of America by 2040

“It’s extraordinary that most of the employment growth in the last four years has gone to the foreign-born, but what’s even more extraordinary is the issue has not even come up during a presidential election that is so focused on jobs,” said Steven A. Camarota, the center’s research director, who wrote the report along with demographer Karen Zeigler.

His numbers are stark: Since the first quarter of 2009, the number of immigrants of working age (16 to 65) who are employed has risen 2 million, from 21.2 million to 23.2 million. During the same time, native-born employment has risen just 1 million, to reach 119.9 million. Source: Washington Times

Workers legally authorized to be here?

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) — Immigrants have gained hundreds of thousands of jobs since the Great Recession is said to have ended, while U.S.-born workers lost more than a million jobs, according to a study released Friday.
Native-born workers lost 1.2 million jobs in the year following June 2009, when economists say the recession officially ended, reported the Pew Hispanic Center, a division of the Pew Research Center.

In that same period of time, foreign-born workers gained 656,000 jobs, according to the center, which based its analysis on statistics from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Labor.

The study did not specify whether or not the immigrants were authorized to be in the United States. A separate Pew study released earlier this year said 7.8 million immigrants, about a third of the foreign-born labor force, are unauthorized.

By 2010, those foreign-born from Mexico made up almost 24% of our population. Chinese-born total almost 5%, the second highest under Mexicans, and immigrants from around the world comprise almost 54% of all those residing in the United States of America. We can know with certainity these numbers under-represent reality. Tell me how we preserve our European heritage, even in small majorities? Maybe we’re not supposed to.
