According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 13.3 million people officially unemployed in the United States in November 2011 \u2013 and that is a big improvement over October. There were about another 11 million people working part time because they couldn\u2019t find full-time jobs.<\/p>\n
At the same time there are estimated to be more than 8 million aliens illegally working in the United States<\/a>. We know the argument that illegal aliens only do jobs Americans don\u2019t want, and we know that\u2019s a lie because Americans are employed in all of the same jobs as are being done by illegal workers. We also know that when a lot of jobs are filled by illegal workers, wages and working conditions deteriorate so that those jobs become less attractive to illegal workers.<\/p>\n
