A top conservative immigration hawk is arguing that to help Black Americans, immigration should be cut, because, historically, all Americans do better in a tight labor market.
A top conservative immigration expert is arguing that a recent surge in immigration into the U.S. is likely to have a heavy impact on the job prospects of Black Americans -- just as the Census Bureau found that foreign workers had made gains in the job market. Data released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, an arm of the Department of Labor, shows native-born Americans lost more than 1.3 million jobs over the last 12 months, while foreign-born workers gained more than 1.2 million jobs.
In comparison, there were 31,636,000 foreign-born workers in the U.S. as of last month, compared to 30,396,000 in August 2023, a surge of 1,240,000 jobs. Roy Beck, who founded the group NumbersUSA which argues for lower levels of immigration, recently published 'Back of the Hiring Line: A 200-Year History of Immigration Surges, Employer Bias, and Depression of Black Wealth.
