Biden-Harris Policies Favor Foreign Workers, Hurting Native-Born Americans

The latest jobs report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals a troubling trend for native-born Americans. In August, 1.3 million native-born workers lost their jobs, while 635,000 foreign-born workers were hired. Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies are directly responsible for this shift, with foreign nationals benefiting at the expense of U.S. citizens.

Former President Donald Trump criticized the report, stating that foreign-born workers — many of whom entered the country illegally — are taking jobs that should go to American citizens. “These numbers are shocking,” Trump said. “The Biden-Harris administration’s open-border policies are hurting the American workforce.”

Research from the Heritage Foundation supports Trump’s claims. EJ Antoni, a researcher with the foundation, noted that foreign-born workers have consistently seen job gains while native-born Americans continue to lose employment. “This is part of a longer trend where American workers are going backward,” Antoni said.

The report also highlighted a significant shift from full-time to part-time work. In August, 438,000 full-time positions were eliminated, while 527,000 part-time jobs were created. Part-time work often lacks benefits like health insurance and retirement savings, leaving many American families in a precarious financial situation.

Conservative lawmakers, including Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), are urging the administration to address this issue. “Illegal immigration is driving down wages and taking jobs from hardworking Americans,” Lee said. He emphasized the need for stronger immigration policies to protect American workers.

As inflation continues to rise and part-time work becomes more common, many American families are struggling to stay afloat. Critics argue that the Biden-Harris administration’s policies are failing to address these issues, leaving native-born workers at a disadvantage.
