\"online<\/a>Last week the president touted<\/a> the government\u2019s addition of 10.3 million new jobs<\/a> over the past 55 months. Sounds like reason to celebrate, but that may not be the case. What would appear to be \u201cgood news\u201d for American workers is in fact a highly orchestrated messaging maneuver to fool the public into believing the standard of living has improved while in reality, hardworking taxpayers may be the losing party.<\/p>\n

There are no data about the number of legal and illegal aliens included in that 10 million figure, but the majority of these jobs are low-wage ones that overwhelmingly attract immigrants.<\/p>\n

Legal and illegal aliens are willing to work for lower wages than the average citizen<\/a>. The primary winners are direct employers while the losers are displaced American workers. Consequently, socio-economic classes become further divided, making the rich corporate owners richer and the poor working class poorer.<\/p>\n

The president promised to put Americans back to work. Instead, his subordination of our immigration laws has only benefited Wall Street but not so much for hardworking Americans.
