Now Is Not the Time to Increase Immigrant Labor ([link removed])
By Steven A. Camarota
National Reveiw Online, May 13, 2020

Excerpt: When the Bureau of Labor Statistics released the April employment figures last Friday, they showed the worst downturn in employment since the Great Depression. The end-line numbers of 14.7 percent unemployment and 23.1 million out of work have received a lot of attention. But the media has largely ignored the even-higher unemployment rate (16.5 percent) for immigrants and the even more dramatic proportional increase in their number unemployed. With millions of immigrants out of work, to say nothing of the unemployed native-born, it simply makes no sense to continue to bring in more foreign workers.

The Employment Situation of Immigrants and Natives in April 2020 First full month of data after Covid-19 shutdown shows dramatic downturn in employment ([link removed])

Excerpt: An analysis by the Center for Immigration Studies of data released last Friday by the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that both native-born Americans and immigrants (legal and illegal) suffered a massive increase in unemployment in April. With 18.2 million natives and 4.3 million immigrants unemployed, and millions more having given up even looking for work, it is now especially difficult to justify the continued entry of new immigrants on the grounds of any "labor shortage".

Amnesty Provision in Democrats' Wuhan Coronavirus Bill: Section 191203: 'The Alien Murderer, Rapist, Child Sex Offender, Trafficker, and Abuser Deferred Action and Full-Employment Act' ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Section 191203 of the HEROES Act, introduced by House Democrats on Tuesday, grants deferred action and employment authorization to aliens who are removable from the United States and who were working on January 27 (and continue to work) in "essential critical infrastructure labor or services" — a laundry list of occupations that runs the gamut from agriculture to food preparation to construction to home health aides and babysitters to gas station workers.
