Fact Checking

Our cities are flooded with illegal aliens. Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and their jobs are taken. And by the way, you know who's taking the jobs? The jobs that are created, 107 percent of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens.

Nope.  Undocumented immigrants are not taking jobs from US citizens.  At least in any meaningful way.  Employment for our country's native-born has increased by more than 7.2 million since 2021. 

Furthermore, employment  for foreign-born workers increased by almost 5 million over the same period.  This figure includes undocumented, legally-admitted immigrants, refugees, students and temporary arrivals such as the seasonal workers that you'll find here on the peninsula.
