Replacement of American Workers by Foreigners Hits Extremes

 ZeroHedge: The Real Shocker In Friday's Jobs Report: 1.2 Million Native-Born Workers Lost Their Jobs, And Were Replaced With 668K Foreign-Born Workers

Meanwhile, the number of foreign-born workers (i.e., immigrants) surged by 668K to a record 30.396 million

About 156 million people are employed in the labor force. About 1 out of 5 are foreigners and this isn’t counting illegal aliens who might run into the tens of millions. The total swung by 1.8 million people last month alone, or more than 1 percent of the workforce.

If an invasion of foreigners was good for the country, USG should be running massive budget surpluses as foreigners build companies and pay taxes. The opposite is the case: data from the Center for Immigration Studies shows foreigners use welfare at far higher rates than natives. Cities such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are now having political meltdowns over experiencing a small fraction of what Texas, Arizona and other border states experienced for decades. Many of these states were already on the brink of bankruptcy. They do not have the resources to deal with the problem.

It also isn’t really a result of busing from border states so much as the waves of illegal aliens finally overwhelming the United States. There isn’t enough housing, there aren’t enough doctors, there aren’t enough schools, there’s nowhere near enough money for tens of millions of new welfare cases adding to the burden of a rapidly aging society already going into inflationary-collapse over entitlement spending. If natives are quitting or losing jobs and being replaced with cheaper foreigners, they all qualify for welfare. The country is moving backwards, rapidly into Third World status.

Very short-sighted and clueless people think this is good for the country. It’s going to end up being good like atomic cornflakes, margarine and mRNA vaxxes. Unlike many problems, this one won’t get cheaper after people realize what happened. The country will first experience massive economic hardship. Only then, when natives suddenly cannot find jobs or have to take huge pay cuts amid rising inflation, or see their welfare benefits cut as is already happening in cities such as Chicago, will they realize they’ve been hoodwinked. Then we spin the roulette wheel and find out what form the dictatorship takes and how long it lasts. Even if its democratic, the man who emerges from this mess will rule as FDR and Lincoln did. Political enemies will be jailed., either the current regime hanging on or a new regime punishing the current one. Immigration will probably go negative for a time and then hit a number close to zero, staying there for a century or more.

The U.S. has been in similar situations before, but it was never pushed to this extreme. Foreign born population was high enough to warrant a major reduction or even near total ban on immigration back in 2000. Policy has gone in an extremist direction since then. The three prior periods: heading in the 1770s, the 1850s and the 1920s. Two out of three sparked wars and the third came ahead of World War II. Nothing good is coming in the short-term.
