Elites wrong again. Turns out, when you deport 500,000 people and 2 million more voluntarily go home, Americans line up for the jobs and are paid more! By Batya Ungar-Sargon.
The left were creating a class of serfs:
When Biden’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was hauled before the Senate, he routinely bemoaned the lack of cheap labor plaguing poor American corporations….
Of course, what he means is employers striving to find people to fill jobs for those wages. Hence the need for illegal labor. With Mayorkas’ help, Biden sought to fill the endless, rapacious need that corporate America has for cheap labor that undercuts a living wage for American workers. Together, they effectively colluded with the cartels to import a surf caste of 10-15 million.
Do votes still count?
Trump was elected to reverse all that — not just the chaos of the open border and the dangers presented by illegal criminals, but to reverse the Democrats whole economic paradigm in which you ship good jobs to China and import people enslaved to cartels to do the jobs remaining here. Trump’s theory of the case was that if we deport the illegals and impose tariffs, American corporations would have to hire Americans and build stuff here.
Of course, the elites laughed and laughed. They predicted economic ruin. You can’t bring jobs back! You can’t sustain an economy while paying Americans a living wage!
Turns out, they were wrong! …
Latest jobs report:
January’s jobs report is out, and it’s pretty much all good news: The U.S. economy added 130,000 jobs in January, and the unemployment rate fell to 4.3 percent. …
Turns out, when you deport 500,000 people and 2 million more voluntarily go home, Americans line up for the jobs they were doing — and companies have to pay them more, because a tight labor market is always good for workers.
Turns out, when you impose tariffs, corporations do a funny thing: They build factories here at home. They reshore supply chains. They make things in America. Manufacturing jobs are up by 5,000 in the new January report.
That’s what this jobs report represents: Trump’s theory of the case was right.
As E.J. Antoni pointed out on Twitter, throughout Trump’s first year in office, the employment of native-born Americans grew by nearly 1 million, while the number of foreign born workers employed fell by nearly 100,000.
The average American’s weekly paycheck shrunk by 4 percent under Biden—but fully half of that has been recovered in just the first year of Trump’s second term, surging 2 percent.
The even better news is that this job growth in January came from full-time jobs, with just 5 percent coming from part-time work. It means Americans are entering the workforce in good jobs with solid pay and benefits, not precarious gig work.
