8 MILLION AMERICANS ARE UNEMPLOYED AND ACTIVELY SEEKING JOBS IN THIS COUNTRY. Studies from the National Research Council show that immigration increases economic activity. However, most of that gain is realized in wages and benefits to the immigrants themselves, and the remaining economic gain is offset by the cost of immigrant households to government programs. The 7 million service jobs held by illegal immigrants are unavailable to our least educated workers—our most vulnerable people—and depresses wages of those who do have jobs by creating a large influx of available cheap labor. 33% of immigrant-headed households use at least one welfare program, approximately twice the rate of native born Americans.
