"There were more than 9.5 million non‐farm job openings in September 2023, below the average of about 10.4 million per month during the Biden administration. The number of non‐farm job openings in September 2023 is higher than at any point during the Trump, Obama, or Bush administrations. The wage gain for immigrants in the United States is already between about a
four‐fold and a ten‐fold increase compared to labor in mostly Latin American and Caribbean countries, even accounting for the higher cost of living in the United States. Since legal migration is very
restricted, many come illegally to work.
There simply are not enough temporary work visas available in enough sectors of the US economy for legal migrant workers to meet the demand, so illegal migrant workers meet it. That already high wage premium and extraordinary labor demand likely explain why the number of Border Patrol encounters and job openings track closely."

"In 2022, a record number of illegal immigrants – roughly 1 million – came to the United States (see
FAIR). Again, assuming the average rate of labor force participation, this equates to roughly 630,000 new workers. During 2022, the labor market created 4.8 million new payroll jobs. By this calculation, illegal immigration accounted for approximately 13 percent of new hires that year."

"Indeed, as far back as the period between 1960-2000, illegal immigration accounted for a significant relative decline in black wage and employment rates because a sizable percentage of each cohort competed in the same low-skilled labor markets. Accordingly, relative employment rates for black males in low-skill job categories dropped by as much as 7 percent; wages dropped by up to 9 percent...
The current flood of illegal immigration has also aggravated the competition between blacks and illegal aliens for government and social services."
