PETER ST ONGE: 99.2% of new jobs last month went to foreign-born workers

since July 2018, the US labor force has added 4.6 million foreign-born workers, while the number of native-born workers has declined by nearly 700K

the only job growth in the US in the past 6 years has been for foreigners, is clearly the result of Biden's policies  --ZeroHedge

The article is titled, "Lost In Today's Job Revision Chaos: Over 1 Million Foreign-Born Workers Found A Job... And No Native Borns."

Earlier today, the BLS confirmed what we previewed last night (see "Tomorrow's Jobs Report Will Finally Capture The Surge In Illegal Aliens, Lead To Another Big Negative Payrolls Revision"), and admitted what we had been saying for much of the past 3 years -that most of the job gains in the past few years, and especially 2024, were a mirage, and following the dramatic August 2024 preliminary data revision which vaporized 818K jobs (which had never existed in the first place)

. . .   

And the reason why it won't be a problem is simple: while it won't get much discussion today, the biggest reason behind today's solid increase in the number of employed workers is the same one we have been pounding the table on since 2023. It's all foreign workers, and - as we explained recently - it is mostly all illegal aliens.

That's right, the BLS reported that in January, over a million, or 1,045,000 to be precise, foreign-born workers found a job (and as Standard Chartered explained lst June, this is largely illegal or "undocumented" aliens) compared to only 8,000 native-born workers!  

This means that while we just hit another month of record foreign-born (largely illegal alien) workers, at 31.774 million, the number of native-born workers remains unchanged over the past six years, still below levels last hit in 2019, just before the covid crisis.   

This also means that since July 2018, the US labor force has added 4.6 million foreign-born workers, while the number of native-born workers has declined by nearly 700K. 

And while this (not really) shocking increase in foreign workers, which really is just the latest in a long series of monthly reports confirming that the only job growth in the US in the past 6 years has been for foreigners, is clearly the result of Biden's policies, we would recommend that president Trump do something to urgently if not immediately address this critical topic... a topic which one year ago we correctly predicted would win Trump the 2024 election - and which if left as is, will promptly lead to the transformation of the current euphoria in Trump's presidency, with disappointment. 

SANJAY JOHN: Less than 1% of polyps become cancer. And yet the medical quacks say, "we go ahead and we take them out at the time of the colonoscopy to help prevent them ever from becoming a cancer."

They just kept taking and taking and taking until it couldn't be took no more. 

MARIA ZAKHAROVA, RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SPOKESWOMAN: It is an intervention machine in internal affairs, it is a mechanism for, . . . I don't know, changing regimes, political systems, the state structure. It's like some kind of Terminator, but it is definitely not a helper

U.S. AID TO ISRAEL AND EGYPT IS ALSO EXEMPTED FROM THE FREEZE ON FOREIGN ASSISTANCE

Maria Zakharova, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman,

One thing noteworthy of course is the feeling of satisfaction from the fact that everything that we talked about presenting facts was fully confirmed after the data on the activities of the structure were disclosed there is truly satisfaction in the fact that we withstood the monstrous onslaught of criticism, accusations, insults, threats when we closed USAID in our country that it was anything but an aid, assistance, and development agency.

RUSSIA WELCOMES THE U.S. DECISION TO SHUT DOWN USAID AS AN INDEPENDENT AGENCY

RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTRY DESCRIBES USAID AS A "MACHINE FOR INTERFERING" IN GLOBAL AFFAIRS

USAID WAS AN INTEGRAL PART OF U.S. FOREIGN POLICY, FUNDING GLOBAL HEALTH AND EMERGENCY PROGRAMS

IT ALSO PROMOTED DEMOCRACY INITIATIVES IN OVER 120 COUNTRIES, INCLUDING THE WORLD'S POOREST REGIONS

U.S. RIVALS, INCLUDING RUSSIA, SEE USAID'S WORK AS A KEY SOURCE OF U.S. SOFT POWER AND INFLUENCE

"It is an intervention machine in internal affairs, it is a mechanism for, . . . I don't know, changing regimes, political systems, the state structure.  It's like some kind of Terminator, but it is definitely not a helper, . . . And it is definitely outside the framework of both Russian legislation and international law."

"One thing noteworthy of course is the feeling of satisfaction from the fact that everything that we talked about presenting facts . . . was fully confirmed after the data on the activities of the structure were disclosed.  There is truly satisfaction in the fact that we withstood the monstrous onslaught of criticism . . . accusations, insults, threats when we closed USAID in our country, . . . . saying that it was anything but aid, assistance, and development agency."  

EARLIER AMID TRUMP CRACKDOWN, USAID HAD ITS WEBSITE VANISH WITHOUT EXPLANATION

TRUMP CRITICIZED USAID, CALLING IT "RUN BY A BUNCH OF RADICAL LUNATICS"

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION HAS PLACED AT LEAST 60 SENIOR U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT OFFICIALS ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE

REPORTS SAY THE MOVE AIMS TO SUPPRESS DISSENT OVER CHANGES IN U.S. FOREIGN AID POLICIES

THE SUSPENSION IS PART OF TRUMP'S LARGER EFFORT TO RESTRUCTURE FOREIGN AID SPENDING

IT REMAINS UNCLEAR WHEN THE USAID EMPLOYEES WILL RETURN OR IF EXEMPTIONS WILL BE GRANTED

THE 90-DAY PAUSE IN FOREIGN AID HAS CAUSED HALTS IN PROGRAMS AND LAYOFFS GLOBALLY

U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE EXEMPTED ONLY EMERGENCY FOOD AND MILITARY AID FROM FREEZE

U.S. AID TO ISRAEL AND EGYPT IS ALSO EXEMPTED FROM THE FREEZE ON FOREIGN ASSISTANCE
