.@CatoInstitute's illegal counts for healthcare occupations constitute an implausibly high share of post-1980 non-citizens.

cis.org/Camarota/Are-T…
@CatoInstitute For example, @CatoInstitute suggests 88% of all post-1980 non-citizen nurse-anesthetists are supposedly illegal, as are 71% of physician assistants.
@CatoInstitute In addition to obtaining an advanced education that is out of reach for most illegal aliens, doctors and other health care providers also need to be licensed, yet few states offer licenses to people who are not authorized to work in the country.

@CatoInstitute The licensing requirement is the primary reason both @pewresearch and @CMSnewyork, which produce the two leading demographic profiles of the illegal population, automatically count physicians as legal.

This provision is essentially open-ended in its coverage, scope, and duration, and will inevitably lead to amnesty for the vast majority of aliens who are removable from the United States.

Aliens who are eligible for benefits under this "temporary" program will likely receive Social Security numbers, which will allow them to establish that they are work-authorized even assuming the program ever ends.

The main beneficiaries of this provision are the "public-safety risks and individuals subject to mandatory detention based on criminal grounds" that ICE ERO is currently focusing its immigration-enforcement efforts on.

A new report outlines 20 actions the president could take immediately to reduce the number of temporary foreign workers.

cis.org/Report/Hire-Am…
1: Rescind approval of all labor certifications for pending employment-based immigrant visas and green card/adjustments of status, and require applicants to submit new certification requests for re-adjudication under current labor market conditions.
2: Rescind approval of all labor condition attestations (LCAs) for pending employment-based non-immigrant visa applications and require applicants to submit new attestations for re-adjudication under current labor market conditions.
