Throughout the Obama Administration, immigrant job growth has outpaced job growth among native-born Americans

In October 2012, immigrants gained jobs at twice the rate of native-born Americans. Overall, the Obama years have been disastrous for native-born workers. From January 2009 to October 2012, foreign-born employment rose 1.635 million, or by 7.6% while native-born employment fell by 0.472 million, or by 0.4%.
