Illegal Alien USA: One in 10 “American” Workers CAN’T Speak English; Muslim Aliens Invade Job Mkt; Large Cities in US Can’t Speak English
If there is any stark hint at how fast illegal aliens are taking over America and infiltrating the job market, it’s the fact that one in ten U.S. workers cannot speak English. That’s more than 2.5 times the percentage in 1980. And it’s at a time when many native-born U.S. citizens who can speak English fluently remain unemployed. Even more disturbing is that large, significant percentages of America’s largest cities cannot speak English . . . and that smaller cities also now have growing, statistically significant percentages of the population who cannot speak English.
The tone of the news report on this is a sob story over the non-English speakers, when it’s really a tragedy about how American citizens are being edged out of the economy by illegal aliens. And it’s not just those from Spanish-speaking countries. It’s Muslims from Somalia and other places that are Islamic terrorist central.
Almost one in 10 adults of working age in the U.S. has limited proficiency in English, more than 2.5 times as many as in 1980, curbing their job prospects and ability to contribute to the economy. Two-thirds of the 19.2 million people who have limited English are Spanish speakers. However, Asians and Pacific Islanders are most likely to have limited proficiency relative to their size of the overall population, according to a new report produced by the Metropolitan Policy Program of the Brookings Institution.
Immigrant workers and their children will account for most of the growth in the U.S. labor force in the coming decades, independent projections show. . . . “English proficiency is a strong predictor of economic standing among immigrants, regardless of the amount of education they have attained, and it is associated with the greater academic and economic success of the workers’ children,” said Jill H. Wilson, the study’s author.
So, if they don’t speak English, you will end up paying their welfare benefits. And if they do learn English, you will end up unemployed after they take your job . . . and end up paying their welfare benefits. It’s a lose-lose/can’t-win situation.
About 45 million people in the U.S., or more than 20% of working-age adults—defined as those 16 to 64 years old—speak a language other than English at home, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. While more than half of them speak English very well, many of them struggle. Based on data from the Census Bureau’s 2012 American Community Survey, Brookings ranked U.S. metropolitan areas by the size and the share of the population that is limited English proficient and the growth in that population in recent years.
While most English-limited adults live in large metropolitan areas, traditional magnets for immigrants, their numbers have grown markedly in smaller metropolitan areas that more recently began to absorb Latin American immigrants and refugees from Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Translation: Muslims, Muslims, and more Muslims. How long until they reach critical mass electorally? Not that long. Just a few generations.
And this is the alarming paragraph:
In Los Angeles and Miami, about a quarter of the working-age population has limited English. In greater New York, limited-English residents account for 18% of the population. Smaller cities, such as Indianapolis and Omaha, Neb., are for the first time facing the challenges of a sizable group with limited English. In Indianapolis, the limited-English population jumped 99% between 2000 and 2012; in greater Omaha, that population surged 95% during that period, the study showed. . . .
Lack of English proficiency doesn’t prevent immigrant workers from obtaining employment. But those who are proficient boast higher income at all levels of educational attainment, the report says. . . . Because not all immigrants have limited English and proficiency improves over time, the population that isn’t proficient hasn’t grown as rapidly as the overall foreign-born population. Despite the fact that the share of the foreign working-age population climbed to 16% in 2012 from 7% in 1980, the proportion with limited English was 9.3% in 2012, the report says.
Somalis Abdikarim Omar, 32 years old, and his sister Hana, 21, already knew some English when they moved to Indianapolis this summer. They currently take an advanced English course at the refugee resettlement agency. Mr. Omar says it has helped him reach the point where he can start interviewing for jobs in computer technology, his area of interest. His sister says, “I’m improving by the day” and hopes to enroll in college and work part-time in coming months.
Yeah, Somalianapolis! Hmmm . . . how many U.S. citizens are looking for jobs in computer technology and can’t get them? A whole lot. Tens–probably hundreds–of thousands.
So I have the solution: let’s bring in more Muslim immigrants from Somalia who can’t speak English and do support Al-Shabaab, and let’s train them! Yeah, that’s the ticket.
Aleikum As-salaam, America. It was nice knowin’ ya.
And by the way, this wasn’t just an Obama thing. This was a Reagan thing, a Bush the Father thing, a Clinton thing, and especially–since he should have gotten the message from 9/11 but didn’t and pretended to be the counter-terrorism/national security Prez but wasn’t–a Bush the Son thing. (As I’ve already repeatedly pointed out, Bush lobbied for and even held a signing ceremony to make it harder for us to deport illegal alien “kids.”) Obama ran on supporting and enabling these groups of people. The Republicans pretended they were entirely different on this issue and would secure the borders. But there was no difference (because those on the right never insisted on one and eagerly bought the hype-filled BS). My side, right or wrong! Yeah!
And now we have an America that is irreparable and long gone. It’s not a matter of if, just when.
I only read the headline so far. I will read the article after penning this comment, but I have to comment. LEGAL immigrants who seek citizenship HAVE to know English. They HAVE to take a test IN ENGLISH, about US history and the Constitution which they must pass. They have an interview with an immigration official IN ENGLISH and have to be approved. They HAVE TO pass medical and criminal screenings. They also HAVE TO pay several hundred dollars in fees. It takes a couple of years to do. Sounds like a reasonable system to me, a “path to citizenship” that everybody (liberals) are hollering about. If you don’t work it, it doesn’t work. I have to read the article now.
