Census: Three New Immigrants for Every New Job

For the decade, 6.9 million immigrants found employment while only 2 million jobs were created. There isn't really much to say except that people who are advocating more immigration must also be barking mad. 

Taken from Census CPS and BLS CPS data.

Maybe Stuart Anderson's, National Foundation for American Policy would like to respond to these numbers.
