Blog Entry #16- More than a million immigrants land U.S. jobs

Over the past two years, as unemployment remained near double-digit levels and over a million foreign- born arrivals found work, many illegally. Often young and unskilled or semi-skilled, immigrants have taken jobs Americans could do in areas like construction, willing to work for less wages. Others land jobs that unemployed Americans turn up their noses at or lack the skills to do. The national unemployment rate is 9.4 percent. President Obama agenda and such findings could add to calls on illegal immigration."Employers have chosen to use new immigrants over native-born workers and have continued to displace large numbers of blue-collar workers and young adults without college degrees," said Andrew Sum, the director of the Center for Labor Market Studies.

I think this is so bad because for one we should have immigrants come over here and when they get over here a person takes away their job that is not right. Already in America we have been going through the unemployment issue and they come and take away jobs it makes America even worse. I think its ok if people from other places come but as long as they aren't illegal immigrants and they have to pay all the other stuff they are charging to get over here now.
