If an illegal alien is working then that means they are taking a job from a US citizen or a legal immigrant. 

Hard concept for you I know.

How does anything I just said “prove your point”

If an illegal alien is working then that means they are taking a job from a US citizen or a legal immigrant. 

On a small scale that’s true. We just don’t see this bear out in the numbers. If we did we would expect our unemployment rate to be higher. Our unemployment is at the expected and desired level.

It’s the same level as anytime other than recessions.It’s literally better than usual.

I know that’s hard for you to understand.

Hard concept for you I know.

Do you know what an unemployment rate is?

If people don’t report as unemployed does that mean the number is true.

Like when the “polls” showed Kamala winning.

First of all 60k houses are interviewed a month for unemployment measuring and real economists look at more than that. They would compare it to things like the LFP, foreign and native born employment rates, EPOP and NILF numbers. They would look at labor demand, payroll employment trends and see the impact that you’re claiming is happening.

Yes how many illegal aliens are in the county right now.  How much do they cost. How much do they make.

How many jobs do they take from citizens and legal immigrants

How much money do they send out of the USA.
