Under the leadership of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, the U.S. economy is disproportionately benefiting foreign-born workers more than native-born Americans, according to a new Bureau of Labor Statistics report. report reveal.
In July, the number of employed Americans fell by 1.2 million from a year earlier. At the same time, the number of foreign-born workers in the workforce increased by 1.3 million, suggesting that most of the job growth in the Biden-Harris economy will come from newly arrived immigrants.
“…”[T]Fewer native-born Americans are in the workforce than they were five years ago. [Chinese coronavirus] Heritage Foundation economist EJ Antoni spoke about “The Pandemic” on SiriusXM’s Patriot show. Breitbart News Saturday.
Not only are native-born jobs millions lower than pre-pandemic trends, they are also 208,000 below pre-pandemic levels. Meanwhile, foreign-born jobs have increased by 3.9 million over the past five years, returning to pre-pandemic trends. Americans are being left behind… pic.twitter.com/d6NGZjvSmE

“Essentially, all the job growth we’ve seen [under Biden and Harris] “Previously, that was just foreign-born workers, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics acknowledges that category includes illegal immigrants,” Antoni said.
The trend of jobs going to immigrants rather than Americans has continued under the Biden-Harris administration: In June, Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies published a study suggesting that roughly 75% of job gains in the US since 2019 have gone to foreign-born workers.
At the same time, labor force participation rates for working-class American men continue to decline.
“I think it just shows that what the Biden-Harris administration has really done is turn the American labor market into essentially a temporary employment agency for foreigners and rip off the American people,” Antoni said. “…[W]”What we’re seeing is Americans losing their jobs and those jobs being taken by foreign-born people. This is a very worrying trend.”
The US admits more than 1 million legal immigrants with green cards each year, about 70 percent of whom enter only because they have family members already living in the US. Another 1 million enter each year on temporary work visas, and millions more have entered through the US-Mexico border since Biden and Harris took office.
