A new analysis of Census Bureau jobs data puts the “fake news” label on the pro-immigration mantra that there are many jobs Americans just won’t do and that’s why legal and illegal immigrants are needed.

According to the deep-dive analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies, just six of 474 job categories are majority immigrant, and none are majority illegal immigrant.

The report suggests that claims made by immigration proponents for greater access to American jobs because Americans don’t want them is false.


Additionally, a lot of jobs that are thought to be “immigrant majority” jobs, aren’t.

quote:

It gave some numbers to show that occupations thought to be majority immigrant aren’t. Among them:
Maids and housekeepers -- 51 percent native-born.
Taxi drivers and chauffeurs -- 54 percent native-born.
Butchers and meat processors 64 percent native-born.
Grounds maintenance workers -- 66 percent native-born.
Construction laborers -- 65 percent native-born.
Janitors -- 73 percent native-born.

This has been obvious to me for years. Our maid is white. We had a fence and some flooring installed. Both jobs white workers. Business next to mine had a parking lot resurfaced. The crew was 4 white workers and 2 black workers. Roofing company doing work nearby, 4-5 white guys , 3 black guys and one Hispanic appearing worker.

This was a line from the MSM that has been remarkable effective in their narrative efforts, for years.

That is definitely a key component of this.

It would make sense that since the Food Stamp POTUS is gone, the employment numbers would go up.

Jobs Americans won't do always was missing the most important part: for third world wages.

just remeber what the racist president of mexico said in 2005...

There is no doubt that Mexicans, filled with dignity, willingness and ability to work, are doing jobs that not even blacks want to do there in the United States.
