It’s happening right before our eyes, yet the media won’t touch it. The left keeps telling us that illegal immigration is good for the economy—that migrants are here to “fill the jobs Americans won’t take.” But here’s the truth they won’t admit: This isn’t about jobs or strengthening the economy. It’s about votes, plain and simple. The left has opened our borders wide, hoping that by letting millions of illegal immigrants flood into our country, they can secure a new, loyal voter base. And guess what? They don’t care if American workers get crushed in the process.
The Numbers Don’t Lie: Americans Are Losing Jobs
Let’s start with the facts. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in the last year alone, native-born Americans lost 1.3 million jobs while foreign-born workers gained over 1.2 million jobs. That’s a staggering number, folks. And this isn’t just an anomaly. This trend has been growing under the Biden-Harris administration. As illegal immigrants flood the country, they’re taking jobs from hard-working Americans.
You might ask, “Why aren’t employers hiring Americans?” It’s simple: illegal immigrants are cheaper. Businesses that want to cut costs are jumping at the opportunity to hire low-wage workers who won’t push back on unfair labor practices. But the American worker? They’re left in the dust, competing against people who are willing to work for peanuts.
Wage Suppression: The Left’s Hidden Attack on the Middle Class
When the labor market is flooded with illegal workers willing to accept low wages, it drives down pay for everyone else. This isn’t just an opinion; it’s basic economics. When there’s more supply than demand, wages drop. So, while the left pats themselves on the back, claiming they’re helping immigrants, they’re actually destroying the middle class.
If you’re a construction worker, farmer, or factory worker, chances are you’ve seen your wages stagnate or even drop in recent years. Why? Because businesses are cutting corners, hiring illegal labor, and driving down wages across the board. And while this might be great for big corporations and the elites, it’s poison for the average American family trying to make ends meet.
The Strain on Public Resources
Illegal immigration doesn’t just steal jobs from Americans—it drains public resources. The left loves to talk about how immigration enriches our society, but they never mention the massive strain illegal immigrants place on our healthcare, education, and welfare systems. Schools are overcrowded, hospitals are understaffed, and government programs meant for American citizens are being stretched thin to accommodate people who shouldn’t even be here in the first place.
And don’t get me started on crime. A Harvard University poll found that 57% of Americans believe illegal immigration has led to an increase in crime. Whether it’s gang violence, drug trafficking, or human smuggling, our communities are becoming less safe, and the left is turning a blind eye. Why? Because they’re more interested in importing votes than protecting American lives.
The Real Agenda: It’s All About Votes
Let’s be clear: this isn’t about helping the economy. The left’s open-border policies have one goal in mind—changing the electorate. They know that by allowing millions of illegal immigrants to settle in the U.S., they’re creating a new voting bloc that will overwhelmingly support their agenda. And they’re not even hiding it anymore.
Look at what’s happening in states like New York and Denver, where illegal immigrants are being given the green light to take government jobs. These are jobs that should be going to American citizens, but instead, the left is bending over backward to hand them to illegal immigrants. And why? Because they want to lock in those votes for the next election. It’s disgusting.
Kathy Hochul, the Democrat Governor of New York, is even relaxing requirements for government jobseekers, allowing illegal immigrants to bypass basic qualifications like English proficiency and a high school diploma. Denver is doing the same thing, openly violating federal law by hiring illegal workers for city jobs. This isn’t just about jobs anymore; it’s about reshaping the country.
Money Leaving the U.S.: A Silent Economic Crisis
And if you think illegal immigration is only hurting the job market, think again. Illegal immigrants are sending billions of dollars in remittances back to their home countries every year. A 2019 study found that both legal and illegal immigrants send an average of $150 billion annually in untaxed money back to their home countries. That’s $150 billion leaving the U.S. economy, never to return.
So, while American families are struggling to pay their bills and keep food on the table, billions of dollars are being funneled out of the country to benefit foreign economies. This is what the left wants us to believe is good for America?
America First: Time to Stand Up
It’s time to wake up and realize what’s happening. The left’s immigration policies are designed to weaken America. They don’t care about the jobs lost, the wages suppressed, or the strain on public resources. All they care about is creating a dependent class of voters who will support their radical agenda for generations to come.
This isn’t just bad policy—it’s fundamentally wrong. American workers should come first. Our schools, our hospitals, and our welfare programs should prioritize citizens, not people who broke the law to get here. It’s time to put an end to the lies about illegal immigration “helping the economy.” It’s not about the economy—it’s about votes, plain and simple.
Final Thoughts
The left wants you to believe that illegal immigration is a victimless crime—that it’s good for our economy and strengthens our society. But the facts tell a different story. Millions of Americans are losing jobs, wages are being suppressed, and our public services are overwhelmed. The real reason behind the left’s open-border agenda isn’t economic—it’s political. They want to secure a new voter base at the expense of American workers and families.

I am of the understanding that it is illegal to hire illegal aliens in the United States. Since illegal aliens don’t have Social Security numbers, employers cannot collect taxes correctly and that is what makes it illegal. Am I missing something, or are the laws just being ignored?
