"Who's Getting the New Jobs?"

Bob Herbert of the New York Times finds out:

A startling new study shows that all of the growth in the employed population in the United States over the past few years can be attributed to recently arrived immigrants...

Those most affected by the influx of new immigrant workers are young, less well-educated American workers and so-called established immigrants, those who have been in the U.S. for a number of years...

Simply stated, there are not enough jobs being created to accommodate the wide variety of demographic groups in need of work. With that being the case, and with some employers actively recruiting new immigrants, the inevitable result has been the displacement of previously employed workers, especially in the less skilled and lower-income categories...

Someone should alert Kerry's base to the effect the Kerry Amnesty would have on their lives. JumboJack90040 is working on that, but he needs your help. Moby-lize!
