Fact Checking

Americans are being squeezed out of the labor force and their jobs are taken.  By the way, you know who's taking the jobs, the jobs that are created?  One hundred and seven percent of those jobs are taken by illegal aliens.

- Donald Trump

Nope.  It's a vast demographic shift Mr. Trump.  I have blogged on this subject in the past as us retired (and planning to retire) Baby Boomers are the pig moving thru the python.

Unemployment as been at or below 4.1 percent for 30 months.  We have a dearth of workers - not an excess.  The number of native-born American workers has remained basically static since 2019.  And this is a consequence of people retiring.  

Immigrants - legal or otherwise - have nothing to do with it.   Trump is confused or lying.  Take your pick.
