Trump Argues Migrants are Stealing Jobs, Experts and Data Disagree
==========
Donald Trump and the Republican Party claim that immigrants are stealing jobs from American citizens, but experts argue that this is false. Immigration advocates argue that newcomers fill positions Americans no longer want or generate jobs by starting up businesses. The American Immigration Council's data shows that immigrants paid around $579.1 billion in taxes in 2022 and make up around 17 percent of the overall U.S. workforce. Experts warn that plans for mass deportations or more restrictive measures would damage the economy rather than help American workers.
