How U.S. Immigrants’ Jobs Are Shifting

This is what happens when our native bone rubes are uneducated

"They're now more likely to have college degrees and fill professional and technical roles


America’s most recent immigrants are more educated and more likely to fill professional and technical jobs than their predecessors, highlighting the changing demographics of non-native workers and a potential shift in the political landscape on immigration.

“These changes in who immigrants are, where they live, and what they do will affect the politics of immigration in the new Trump administration,” Mr. Kolko said. “The employers who oppose restrictions on new immigrants will increasingly come from technical industries and research organizations, and workers who have felt most threatened by immigration in the past might become less so.”


By comparison, just under a third of all native-born Americans age 25 and over have a bachelor’s degree or more, according to Census data.

To be sure, many new immigrants continue to work on farms, at beauty salons and in food service. Non-native workers continue to make up a large share of all workers in some sectors—more than one-third in building cleaning and maintenance and 28% in construction, for example."

I'm only happy when it's legal immigrants getting jobs.

Legal or illegal immigrants have bachelor degrees? You must be referring to legal immigrants and no one has a problem with legal immigration.

Our "native-born rubes" are uneducated because fewer and fewer of them can afford to pay for a college education. So we are seeing the influx of educated immigrants from nations which are essentially poorer but which provide tuition-free college.

This of course is the formula for the ultimate demise of the Nation our forebears envisioned, labored, fought and died to build and preserve. America has been a Nation which cannot be defeated by military force but will succumb to the effects of greed and corrupt political manipulation. Because all it will take to prevent the gradual dispossession of native Americans by better-educated foreigners would be the availability of a free college education for any native-born American who can pass the SAT. But there are other things our political "leadership" would rather do with the money such a program would cost.

Not only is no such educational program in view for the near future, there are positive indications that Social Security and Medicare are targets of the One Percent, which has finally achieved a firm grip on the controls.

I have a problem with "LEGAL" immigration. At one time, bring slaves to the U.S. was legal. That turned out to be a disaster.
