Fewer illegal aliens means more jobs and a better economy for American citizens

[Dante]

In fact deporting illegal alien workers - including illegals without a criminal record - forces employers to hire American workers and pay higher wages

But it enrages globalist America-last libs

AI Overview



The January 2026 jobs report presented a mixed picture for the US labor market,
combining a surprising surge in headline job growth with significant downward revisions to 2025 data, as reported by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). While 130,000 new nonfarm jobs were added in January—exceeding expectations—substantial downward revisions to the prior year suggested a much weaker labor market than previously thought.

Key Takeaways from the January 2026 Report:

• Surprising Growth: Employers added 130,000 jobs in January, significantly higher than expected, signaling a potential, albeit cautious, start to the year.
• Unemployment Rate: The unemployment rate dropped slightly to 4.3% in January from 4.4% in December 2025.
• Industry Drivers: Job gains were heavily concentrated in health care, social assistance, and construction, while the federal government and financial activities sectors saw declines.
• Downward Revisions: The report revealed that 2025 job growth was overestimated by nearly 900,000 jobs, with total 2025 job creation revised down to just 181,000 for the entire year.
• Average Earnings: Year-over-year average hourly earnings growth remained stable at 3.7%.
• Economic Outlook: The figures present a "low-hire, low-fire" environment, with some economists viewing it as a stabilization, while others express concern over long-term labor market weakness.
• Policy Implications: The data suggests the Federal Reserve may maintain a patient approach to interest rate changes

That would have been an easy point to ignore given that it wasn’t an argument I ever made. I did however make several points directly towards your OP. Are you able to address them directly or no?

I addressed all your points

If all undocumented were deported it would have very negative impacts on the economy. Yes employers would need to hire to replace the workers. They would also need to increase wages. This would result in raising prices. Inflation. And a labor shortage. It would also put strain and hardship on many businesses reducing output and lowering the GDP of our country. We would also lose Billions in tax revenue.

To recap: we dont need 12-15 million illegals to support the economy

We can’t deport all of them overnight

Employers will adjust to the changing labor market by offering higher wages to fewer available workers

Thats a good thing

 

[Mac-7]

With uncontrolled growth we are out of resources

Thats nonsense

The free market will meet demand

 

[Lisa558]

With uncontrolled growth we are out of resources

So let’s get rid of the 20 million illegals who are soaking up resources. It’s a start.

The jobs report was positive in spite your negative lib spin

The jobs report was positive in spite your negative lib spin

In a fuller context is is barely a positive blip and people know it.

Forget the narratives based on any analysis of one monthly jobs report. Ignore any ramblings coming out of the mouth of Donald Trump. Look at the big picture:


WASHINGTON, Feb 11 (Reuters) - The U.S. economy created 862,000 fewer jobs in the 12 months through March 2025 than previously estimated, the Labor Department's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) said on Wednesday.

The final nonfarm payrolls benchmark revision was less than the reduction of 911,000 jobs the BLS estimated in August. The numbers are not seasonally adjusted. Economists had expected the level of employment over the 12-month period would be reduced by between 750,000 and 900,000 jobs following updates to the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages data for the first quarter on which the BLS based the payrolls benchmark revision.

The change in total nonfarm employment for 2025 was revised down to a seasonally-adjusted 181,000 from the previously reported 584,000.

The US economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, Labor Department data released Friday showed, sharply missing economists' expectations and stalling the nascent hiring growth that started the year.

The unemployment rate edged up to 4.4%, while the share of people who have been without work for 27 weeks or more as a percentage of all unemployed hit 25.3%.

Not savvy enough to come up with your own I see.

Irrelevant and ironic of you to say as you display an inability to respond to the substance.

It's quite obvious you aren't equipped to approach these issues on your own and have to resort to an AI source for your argument.

I'm cornfused~~~~ according to the Left, I thought illegal immigrants were the backbone of this country whose economy depended on them? If the Left is right, deporting all of these illegals should be bringing economic ruin to the USA! Oh, the horror, another leftist truism proven wrong.

Leftists dream of economic ruin for America

In their mind we deserve economic pain and suffering

Yes, loss of these workers will drop the GDP 2.6%
Reduced wages increased cost of products
PIIE says net fiscal loss.

The USA is just a big, fat piggy-bank to them to be looted and stolen from much the same as a virus invades a healthy body. Every tard here who supports the democrats only does so because they see them as their only, best opportunity to get a little cut of the action, otherwise, they'd have to actually go out and try to find a real job and compete for the job which they know they'd suck at, which is why they invented DEI.

DEI is for idiots, suckers and losers so they too can live as well as your son who worked hard to graduate top of his class at Harvard.

Only if the welfare leeches don’t get off their butts and take the jobs the illegals had.

We can force that issue by stopping the gravy train of OPM.
