ALL of the net jobs gains in the U.S. since 2000 have gone to immigrants

Since 2000, all of the net jobs added by the U.S. economy have gone to immigrants, both legal and illegal, according to a report being released Friday by the Center for Immigration Studies that challenges prevailing wisdom that the country needs an influx of workers.

Nearly 6 million more people are working in the U.S. now than in 2000, but the number of native-born Americans holding jobs has declined slightly, from 114.8 million to 114.7 million, according to census figures crunched by CIS. Instead, all of that job growth — a total of 5.7 million — has gone to immigrants.

This is a matter to be taken seriously. We're all aware of the politically correct status of "minorities & women" within the US workforce, military, and Governing agencies. Ladies & Gentlemen, I personally have absolutely nothing against legal immigration or women. For the record, I love women. I believe such genuine people are an incredible asset, talent, and bring great productivity to society. Although we're all aware of the untapped resources of fully qualified, highly educated & experienced veterans. Apparent EEOC discrimination against veterans in far too many cases. To where virtually all employers, corporate agencies, human resource departments of advertised employment & even Temp. For Hire agencies simply refuse hiring excellent candidates based on being a veteran & patriot. Many female veterans are experiencing this discrimination as well. I've even heard that employers receive big tax breaks and monetary awards for hiring minorities & women from the current US Administration & IRS. I don't have any documentation, but information from credible source regarding employer monetary incentives; a self employed RN recruiting manager who is contracted by numerous healthcare institutions within the US. This is damaging folks, and I believe an attack on all Americans. So much for equality and individual rights. The political pretense to "minority" status is erroneously implying that Caucasian males and females are some how conceived/birth into extreme wealth, that Caucasian males are somehow "powerful", "oppressive" to "minorities". Again, this political pretense is far from accurate.

Interesting commentary...I'm going to look that report up. It would be interesting to see: (a) who funds the source of the report (b) the actual data...if they'll release it and not the report. I'm always a bit doubtful about such reports - especially when I don't know the report source.
