The unemployment rate among immigrants has soared 320% during the coronavirus pandemic, according to a report Thursday by the Center for Immigration Studies that suggests they’re having just as tough a time finding jobs as native-born Americans.
Nearly 20% of illegal immigrants were unemployed last month, and more than 15% of legal immigrants were also searching for jobs. By contrast, the unemployment rate among native-born Americans was just 14%.
Immigrants — both legal and illegal — had actually had lower unemployment, at 3.6%, than the native-born, at 3.8%, in February. By April, though, the rate among immigrants surged to 16.4%, outstripping the 14% rate for native-born Americans.

Well, we've been saying for YEARS there is a problem......
Good, maybe they will self deport and go the heck back where they came from.
Americans come FIRST , send the rest Back !!!
Why do that when the left will support them with your money. What say you?
Yeah. Send them back. I’m sure it will be easy to find hard working Americans that want to stand up all day evicerating 10s of thousands of chickens or picking our tomatoes or doing all the hot, dirty, nasty work to keep us all fat and happy.
People here act like they will do these jobs. Can you hear it "I ain't working for $10 an hour doin that".
