Or, there is no government mechanism to allow non-citizens to come in and do work that no one else is willing to do.

Republicans think 42% of farm workers can get deported and everything will be fine.
The share of hired crop farmworkers who were not legally authorized to work in the United States grew from roughly 14 percent in 1989"91 to almost 55 percent in 1999"2001; in recent years it has declined to about 40 percent. In 2020"22, 32 percent of crop farmworkers were U.S. born, 7 percent were immigrants who had obtained U.S. citizenship, 19 percent were other authorized immigrants (primarily permanent residents or green-card holders), and the remaining 42 percent held no work authorization.

If someone claims the U.S. is averaging 333,000 jobs per month for native-born workers, that is not supported by recent BLS data. The native-born employment numbers have fluctuated and, in some periods, declined, even as total employment has grown.
The total jobs added (from the payroll survey) have sometimes averaged over 300,000 per month, but this includes all workers, not just native-born.

Well, -------, you never won a debate with me in the past and this is not going to be your first.
I even told you that this was already debated so you could have checked for that before showing yourself to be an ignorant ------- - AGAIN.
Here is my post from yesterday - and yes - it is 100% true as confirmed by the BLS:
They are referring to the BLS reports which I have referenced here many times which clearly breaks out employment of native born vs. foreign born.
Here is the latest report: www.bls.gov
Here is the end of Jan 2025 report: www.bls.gov
In each, find Table 7 and the subtract the 2 numbers for the change.
And exactly as stated, for the first time in years, native born employment is growing - by 2M so far under Trump. Trump is doing what liberals said was impossible. I remember not long ago - ------- Danforth said this was impossible as native born will decline due to boomer retirement so it is not possible to reverse the trend - much like everything he says - that is now clearly proven to be wrong.
For JPW, stick to talking about incompetence in research labs causing global pandemics, this economics stuff is beyond your intelligence level.

Again - here is the January BLS report: www.bls.gov
Table 7, Native Born Employed = 130,573,000
Here is the June BLS report: www.bls.gov
Table 7, Native Born Employed = 132,652,000
What is 132,652,000 - 130,573,000?
Obviously I need to ask to see if your problem is:
1.) You can't do math
2.) You can't read a chart (AGAIN)
3.) You just want to lie regardless of the FACTS
So, tell me ------- - what is 132,652,000 - 130,573,000? Is is greater or less than 2M?
