Quote:

Male immigrants, including illegals, have a significantly lower unemployment rate than American-born men, according to a new report by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The agency reports that the unemployment rate for men born in the United States is 8.4 percent, compared to 7.5 percent for foreign-born men, The Washington Examiner first reported Wednesday.

The report did not specify percentages of legal and illegal immigrants separately, only describing those surveyed as “legally-admitted immigrants, refugees, temporary residents such as students and temporary workers, and undocumented immigrants.”

that's because we take any job that comes at us, which is why it would be wise for the GOP to simmer down their stance on immigration.

Unfortunately we don't have the luxury of going on welfare and bitching about socialism.

That is because we take what we can get. No shame in any line of work.

Like what my cousin told me a while ago, "a job is a job". If you're working, you're getting paid.

They may be shitty jobs but when you're against a wall, all you can do is push back.

I'll take the job of a congressman, it seems like a job they don't want to do.

I can't wait for those who are going to point out, "see? They are taking our jobs!"

That's because Americans got social safety nets.. Immigrants don't. If we don't work, we're out on the street

Its because black unemployment is very high while Asian unemployment is the lowest of all demographics.

White unemployment is fairly low too (about 6% if I recall) and Hispanic unemployment is significantly lower than black. I wish I could check but I'm on my phone atm.

Thats right! Thats cuz we hustle! You work or you starve! No excuses! No welfare or goverment assistance! I'm all for food stamps as a supplement but if you dont try to work or even try to gain some experience then GTFO even if you're a citizen.

Exactly! They don't try to look for work as hard as they would if there were no safety nets.

Sadly, if a candidate ever ran for office trying to cut even a little bit of unemployment benefits, he would be seen as a "public enemy" and ads would run against him portraying him as a person who hates the lower class. Smh. Most of the people never even try to understand the motives behind political actions. In this case, the cut in the benefits would force lazy people to get off their @sses and look for work like they mean it.
