Report Links Young American Unemployment Rate to Illegal Immigrants with Jobs

If you thought the economy was bad, try viewing it through the eyes of a high school-educated U.S.-born worker under age 30.

That cohort's unemployment rate stands at 29 percent (a statistic that only counts those still looking for work).

Numbers are even worse when minorities are selected -- other than immigrants.

The Center for Immigration Studies reports that the presence of 8 million employed illegal immigrants in this country is squeezing more young, native-born citizens out of the job market, or blocking their entry altogether.

Read the report, which concludes, contrary to conventional wisdom, that "U.S.-born workers and immigrants often do the same jobs."
