The rightwing ought to be happy. They finally have a big enough a-hole who can't be censored by media.

Inflation eased in August to new three-year lows, teeing up the Federal Reserve to begin gradually reducing interest rates at a meeting next week.

The consumer-price index climbed 2.5% from a year earlier, according to the Labor Department, decreasing from 2.9% in July and extending its cooling streak to five months. Core inflation, a measure that excludes volatile food and energy costs, held roughly steady at 3.2%.

Tanko is furious that a growing economy is hiring legal immigrants

Me too. We allow in LEGAL immigrants, and have so for 200+ years. There are people from countries around the world that meet our requirements, fill out needed forms, are vetted, and wait their turn. Maybe your parents? If our elected leaders feel we could use more immigrants to help our growing economy, duh, then raise the number of LEGAL immigrants we allow. But the Democrat agenda is JUST AS YOU STATE. You make it across illegally, let’s get you a job!

I hate the idea that we have supposedly smart people (like Harris, terapined, etc.) that think ILLEGAL immigration is a good answer for ANYTHING.

The BLS A-7 Table does not mention whether the foreign born workers legal or illegal immigrants.

Over the past twelve months:

Foreign Born gained 1,240,000 jobs.

Native Born lost 1,319,000 jobs.

Work harder
I saw a lot of native born just show up and putting no effort into the job. They have a huge advantage because they speak perfect English. I'm foreign born and busted my ass. I've had plenty of lazy native born tell me no they are not going to work hard like me. They said I was crazy.
Screw them.
Fellow workers at Amex laughed when I told them I was scared of layoffs. They told me no way in hell I would be laid off.
In my lifetime experience, overall foreign born like me worked a lot harder and smarter then native born.
