Black Men and Less Educated
Americans Especially Hard Hit by
Current
Foreign Labor
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2007 As President Bush is
expected to again promote amnesty
and a guestworker program in his
State of
the Union Address tonight,
NumbersUSA urges him to recognize
that
large-scale importation of foreign
workers will further depress wages
and
deny job opportunities for the
most vulnerable Americans --
destabilizing
the overall economy; frustrating
efforts to fight terrorism; and
imposing
significant costs on taxpayers
while subsidizing cheap labor.
"President Bush's constant push for his guestworker proposal
is a
direct affront to the American
worker, particularly the 25
million
less-educated Americans who
currently do not have a job," said
Roy Beck,
Executive Director of NumbersUSA.
"I hope that the new Democratic
leadership in Congress will not
sell out to the cheap labor lobby
of big
business, but stand up for their
Democratic ideals to protect the
working
American."
Mass immigration has the greatest impact on the most
vulnerable
Americans. For example, 40% of the
decline in employment for Black
men is
linked to immigration, according
to findings of a new study from
Prof.
George J. Borjas of Harvard
University, Prof. Jeffrey Grogger
of the
University of Chicago and Prof.
Gordon H. Hanson of the University
of
California, San Diego. The study
concluded that the federally
driven and
ever-larger flows of immigration
since 1980 have been a crucial
factor in
the plight of the Black lower
classes.
Both unskilled and skilled Americans would be hurt by the
President's
past immigration proposals to
match willing workers from other
countries
with willing employers here in the
United States at the cost of the
American taxpayer. While official
unemployment remains relatively
low, more
and more American workers are
completely getting out of the job
market as
more than a million foreign
workers move in and take jobs each
year. Severe
outsourcing, uncontrolled illegal
immigration and
government-mandated
immigration four times higher than
the traditional average have
worsened
underemployment and wage
stagnation among Americans on both
ends of the
employment spectrum.
Enforcement of our immigration laws is absolutely necessary
to ensure
Americans' economic and physical
security and a successful struggle
for
living-wage jobs. Without
full-scale efforts in mandatory
workplace
verification, implementation of
the entry-exit system, and
increased
cooperation between state, local,
and federal law enforcement
officials,
the continued importation of
foreign workers will further erode
the economy
and our national security.
"Granting amnesty and loosening immigration rules is a
dangerous game
to play when our immigration
system has already been gamed by
terrorists,
and new evidence of plans for
terrorists to breach our
immigration system
is uncovered almost daily," said
Beck. "It's high time to stop
paying lip
service to the American people and
instead take real action to
protect our
borders and keep Americans safe
and secure, physically and
economically."
Business Immigration
Business Immigration is
different for the US than it is for
Canada. $400,000 in venture capital
gets you in the door with Canada.
Today's Worthwhile information:
Although charged with the security
of national borders by the "supreme"
law of the land, Congress has
pursued open door policies over the
past century or longer. When
lawmakers subvert the law they
create, by deliberate non
enforcement, they surrender all
legal and moral authority to compel
you and me to uphold their never
ending laws. They encourage and
allow the continuous daily invasion
of this nation by those who
understand American law amounts to
window dressing. Now we are faced
with a situation where Congressional
criminals demand that citizens make
life difficult for the guests they
invite and encourage.

Many Americans are concerned about
the social and economic impacts of
immigration. Large numbers of
immigrants enter the United States
each year, and observers wonder how
these persons affect the
availability of jobs, the cost of
government services, and whether
their region or neighborhood is
becoming overcrowded. Immigration
debates at the national level are
often about whether federal policies
on admissions are adequate and
appropriate. But when people talk
about immigration at the state and
local level they often are concerned
about the impact of immigration on
local economies and governments.
Indeed, while national studies
generally find that immigrants pay
