“100% of the job growth in The United States Of America is going to American citizens”
MISLEADING
What the record shows
BLS data show native-born employment increased while foreign-born employment decreased in 2025, but economists warn these figures are statistical artifacts from Census population controls, not evidence of actual job displacement. The 'foreign-born' category includes legal immigrants and naturalized citizens, not just undocumented workers.
