Thread: Immigrant Unemployment At Record High

Immigrant Unemployment
At Record High
4-27-9

WASHINGTON -- A new report finds immigrant unemployment (legal and illegal) was higher in the first quarter of 2009 than at any time since 1994, when immigrants were first separated out in the monthly data. This represents a change from the recent past when native-born Americans tended to have higher unemployment rates. The findings show that immigrants have been harder hit by the recession than natives. Although data on immigrants is collected, it is generally not published by the government. This report is one of the few to examine this data.

The report, entitled, 'Trends in Immigrant and Native Employment,' is embargoed until Wednesday midnight, for publication on Thursday, April, 30. Advance copies are available to the media. The study will be available online at: www.cis.org.

The report also contains employment data for Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Virginia, and Washington State.

The report is coauthored by Dr. Steven Camarota, the Director of Research at the Center for Immigration Studies and Karen Jensenius a Research Demographer at the Center.

I don't care about the illegal, and if they know they are unemployed, then go pick them up and send them home.

"Immigrant Unemployment At Record High"

GOOD!! - They just better not be getting taxpayer Unemployment Insurance!

No, maybe not getting taxpayer unemployment insurance, but probably most of them getting free food, housing medical etc. etc. through their pregnant dependents and anchor babies.

LOL my friend once asked me the most hilarious thing, he goes "do you think I'd get arrested if I pretended to be a contractor and went to a day laborer site and picked em all up in my truck and drove them out to the middle of nowhere and left them there?" I said probably so, considering they are treated better then us americans, and he replied with "but they arent entitled to civil rights unless theyre citizens" and I said sacrastically "but dont you know?! theyre not illegal! theyre in their homelands!" I did crack up, both of us were laughing. It would sure teach them a lesson, but chances are it wouldnt stop them, theyre repeat offenders!

What would be even funnier (or sad, depending how you look at it) is if instead of dropping them off in the “middle of nowhereâ€
