U.S. Employment Picture Better for Foreign-Born Than Native-Born in 2015

(CNSNews.com) - In 2015, the unemployment rate for foreign-born people in the United States (4.9 percent) was better than that for native-born Americans (5.4 percent), the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Thursday.

Likewise, the labor force participation rate among the foreign born was 65.2 percent, better than the 62.2 percent for native-born Americans in 2015.

BLS defines foreign-born persons as those who live in the United States but who were born outside the country to parents who were not U.S. citizens. The foreign born include legally-admitted immigrants as well as those who came here illegally; refugees; and temporary residents such as students and temporary workers.

The native born is the ones not preferred for hiring but they are the ones paying for all the government benefits, tax refunds, child credit and freebies for the foreign born who sends their money out of the US. If they get the jobs they should not be getting any / all these benefits and not allowed to send their money out of the US without a severe penalty / charge an export fee. This will stop this crap and the illegals will stay out of the US.
