[quote=Anonymous]There is a vast oversupply of unskilled workers in the United States and there are many more job seekers than available jobs.

- There are approximately 20 million Americans who are unemployed or underemployed, and 92 million Americans not in the labor force.

- Many of the unemployed are low skilled. In the fourth quarter of 2013, there were eight million Americans with a high school diploma or less who were unemployed or who could only find part-time work.

- Many high-skilled Americans are also out of work or underemployed. Two-thirds of the more than nine million people with degrees in science, engineering, or mathematics are working in other fields.

- During the current economic "recovery," foreign workers are the total share of new jobs, extending unemployment for millions of American workers.

- Since 2000 all of the gains in the number of people (16 to 65) holding a job has gone to the foreign-born, including legal immigrants and illegal aliens.

In fact, the Congressional Research Service found that the economic gain from immigration is divided between the immigrant and the immigrant’s employer. Guest workers gain from employment in the U.S. and employers benefit by reducing their labor costs. Meanwhile American workers bear the cost of guest worker programs through displacement, lower wages, and taxes used to provide benefits to low-income guest workers.
