The fourth quarter of 2023 shows 2.7 million more people working in the United States — 2.9 million more immigrants (legal and illegal) and 183,000 fewer U.S.-born Americans.

cis.org/Report/Employm…

While the numbers have continually rebounded from the lows of '20, there were still 183k fewer U.S.-born working in the 4th quarter of '23 than in the 4th quarter of '19, before Covid. The number of immigrants (legal and illegal) working is up 2.9m over '19.

The overall labor force participation rate of all U.S.-born adults (18 to 64) in the 4th quarter of 2023 of 77% roughly matches the pre-covid rate in 2019. But it was still below the prior peaks of 78.1% in 2006 and 79.2% in 2000.

At 75.6% in the 4th quarter of 2023, the labor force participation rate of U.S.-born men without a bachelor’s (18 to 64) has still not returned to the 76.3% it was in the fourth quarter of 2019, which was lower than the 80.5% in 2006 and the 82.6% in 2000.

Compared to the 1960s, when more than 90 percent of these working-age, less-educated U.S.-born men were in the labor force, the rate today is dramatically lower.

A CIS examination of one subset of 200-plus NGOs helping a mammoth UN-led immigration assistance project reveals pass-through taxpayer funding of the worst mass migration in U.S. history
cis.org/Bensman/Biden-…

A prime example is the self-described “Jewish American” nonprofit organization @HIASrefugees.

The first infusions of another $5.2m State Dept grant to HIAS this year — explicitly for the endeavor in Latin America — started arriving.

A database shows that some $6.1m of 2024’s commitment will go out as cash cards, vouchers, and in-kind services.

@HIASrefugees The list of participating NGOs comes from the UN’s 2023-2024 Regional Refugee and Migrant Response Plan (RMRP), which lists more than 200 of the groups.

We have exported that list👇

Watch here:

"This is a single ongoing event with a traceable start date, smashing every record on government books for 30 months straight."

New analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies provides a visual representation of immigration’s (legal and illegal together) impact on public schools at the local level.
cis.org/Report/Mapping…

“The findings show that, in many areas, immigration has an enormous effect on schools. The share of students from households headed by an immigrant (legal or illegal) is so large in parts of the country that it raises profound questions about assimilation.”

A larger share of students from immigrant households also come from low-income families & speak a foreign language at home, likely creating significant challenges for schools already struggling to educate students from disadvantaged backgrounds.

"The Biden admin chose to throw gasoline on that dumpster fire by actually expanding opportunities for the illegal smuggling of minors into the country and expanding opportunities for these minors to be trafficked for cheap labor, commercial sex, & more." @JessicaV_CIS
