Over Half of Illegal Aliens in U.S. Are Unemployed: Report

A new report reveals that over half of the population of illegal aliens that have come into the United States under Joe Biden’s watch are unemployed, thus creating an even greater strain on the country.

As reported by Breitbart, the report from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) released on Monday revealed that only 46% of illegals who came to the U.S. “in 2022 or later” were employed at the start of 2024.

“Immigration clearly adds workers to the country, but it just as clearly adds non-workers who need to be supported by the labor of others,” said CIS researchers Steven Camarota and Karen Zeigler in the report. “This was the case in the past, it is true today, and it will surely be the case for immigrants who arrive in the future. Those who simply see immigration as a source of labor need to understand it is also a source of school children, retirees, and many other non-workers.”

The numbers in CIS’s report appear to debunk one of the most common arguments used by advocates of mass migration and open borders, who claim that illegals must be brought into the country to fill jobs that American citizens will not do.

Furthermore, CIS reported that the population of illegals in the U.S. has risen by at least 6.6 million since Joe Biden first took power in January of 2021. As of March of this year, there are over 51.6 million foreign-born illegals in the country, an increase of approximately 5.1 million since 2022. This accounts for at least 15.6% of the entire population of the United States.

“Many advocates for the unauthorized argue they should be given work permits so they can support themselves while they await a court date,” the report noted. “Of course, others worry that this would only incentivize more illegal immigration. In 2024, a larger share of new arrivals were unauthorized relative to prior years due to the ongoing border crisis.”

CIS previously released a study debunking the Biden Administration’s attempts at claiming that it has overseen job growth in recent years, as many of the new jobs created were filled by illegals rather than American citizens; the number of employed Americans has actually decreased under Biden’s watch, falling even below pre-COVID levels.

  1. Given all of this, it would be far more advisable for states to enforce the laws. The occupant of the White House doesn’t merely fail to enforce current immigration laws; he actively subverts and thwarts them in a show of contempt for Congress, the people and the American system.

    No one is willing or wanting to hold this faux president to account even though there is a process in place for removing such people from their offices. Those who believe impeachment was meant to be used sparingly are wrong. It was intended to be used when people and situations demanded it in order to preserve our federal constitutional system. Removing this person, his ineligible VP puppet, and every counterfeit cabinet head is paramount in restoring any lawful governance in this country. In addition, eliminate every single “intelligence” agency and most members of Congress who perpetually act against the interests and wishes of the American people. The Constitution does not recognize, preserve or protect the illegitimate in governance. It is time the American people understood that and acted on it.
