Amid Joe Biden's attempts to showcase his alleged economic achievements, a recently released report has brought to light a concerning trend: the influx of non-American citizen workers surpassing the number of employed native-born Americans in the United States.

The latest statistical data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, disclosed this week, has shown a workforce consisting of 637,000 non-American citizen workers, while close to 300,000 native-born Americans faced unemployment. Economist E.J. Antoni, in an interview with The Federalist, highlighted the government's creation of numerous job opportunities that are predominantly occupied by foreign-born workers, leaving American citizens grappling with employment challenges.

Antoni emphasized the negative impact on the nation's economy, stating, "No wonder Americans view the economy so terribly: they aren't the ones [with] the jobs; native-born employment is not only millions below the pre-pandemic trend, but even below the pre-pandemic level, while millions more foreign workers are employed today than Feb '20, and back to the trend."

The report further acknowledged the likelihood of including some illegal immigrants in the survey. The Bureau of Labor Statistics clarified that the survey methodologies are not designed to determine the legal status of workers, acknowledging the absence of a mechanism to identify the number of illegal aliens contributing to the workforce.

Former President Donald Trump has accused Joe Biden of launching "economic warfare" against the American middle class, branding the current situation as "Biden's border invasion." Trump expressed concern over the impact on working-class minorities, particularly African American and Hispanic American families, underscoring the importation of millions of low-wage migrants who, in his view, have been provided with welfare, healthcare, and work permits that undercut American wages.

Antoni underscored the overlooked costs of illegal immigration, particularly when discussing its perceived benefits. He highlighted various burdens imposed by immigrants, including the strain on emergency rooms without corresponding payment for services, their children's education in public schools without contributing to associated taxes, and their impact on housing demand, resulting in escalated rent prices.

And then there's the ever-looming government job growth, which is paid for by the taxes of the private sector.
