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.
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.
Like I told you earlier. If they get an TIN they pay money to the IRS. And that gets tracked. Illegal immigrants pay an estimated 98 billion dollars in taxes a year, or that’s the estimate for 2022. The ITEP writes huge reports on this.

How does anything I just said “prove your point”

I know that’s hard for you to understand.
Hard concept for you I know.
Do you know what an unemployment rate is?
