Tanko, are you accounting for any demographic differences in your analysis, such as mean and median average age of US citizen versus foreign workers, or perhaps the percentage of citizens versus foreign born workers in each age group, or educational or vocational skills in citizens versus foreign workers?


These changes occurred in only the past three years. Demographics do not change overnight. Cheap labor is the reason for the employment level shift.

'Foreign-Born Workers Dominate U.S. Job Gains While Native-Born Americans Struggle'

'All of the net job growth over the last year has gone to foreign-born workers, (a category which the Labor Dept. admits includes illegal aliens) while native-born Americans have lost a net 300k jobs.'

'The jobs report also showed that full-time jobs decreased by 625,000 when compared to April, while part-time employed workers grew by 286,000. At least 16,000 additional workers were reported to be holding at least two jobs when compared to April.'

Where does my neighbor fit in? He was born in Jordan, came to the US to attend college and then grad school, became a citizen, is employed by Big Tech, has a foreign born wife, but 3 US born and therefore natural born citizen children?

I read the Federalist article. Nothing but a piece of xenophobic propaganda.

It's very disturbing to realize things are not what we thought they were.

It takes time.

All of us are awakening.


Look a little deeper.

From what I can gather many Democrats don't want him to take a neurological test.

I don't agree with that despite the fact it could certainly put the nails on his political coffin.

Mostly cause I'm fine with calling out Trump on everything I think he should do. I can't help it if his voting base doesn't give a flying f*** about most of it.

He likes booze, puttering around the yard and a comfy home life much too much to be a spook. But, then again, that could be the perfect cover...
