LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Democratic Senator Jeanne Shaheen and Republican Senator Kelly Ayotte both voted for Senate Bill 744, which the CIS calculated would double the number of foreign-born workers allowed in the country, and would further grant legal status to millions of illegal aliens who have already entered this country.

Analyzing the data from the U.S. Census Bureau's Current Population Survey, the CIS shows that since 2000, 71% of job growth in New Hampshire for people between the ages of 16 and 65 has gone to immigrants-both legal and illegal.
Because of this, a large portion of New Hampshire natives that hold jobs has significantly declined. Those without college educations are affected the most.
"Job growth in New Hampshire has not been very strong," said Steven Camarota, CIS director of research and co-author of the report. "The situation for natives without a college education has been particular bad.
"Thus it is surprising that many of New Hampshire's politicians supported the Gang of Eight bill, which would give work authorization to illegal immigrants and dramatically increase the number of foreign workers allowed into the country in the future," Camarota said.
The amount of native, working-age citizens in New Hampshire grew significantly, but the share of jobs they had actually fell. From 2000 to 2014, there was a 25% increase in people not working-41,000.
"This analysis focuses on those 16- to 65-years-old, so that we can examine the employment rate (share working) of native-born Americans. The employment rate is a measure of labor force attachment that is less sensitive to the business cycle compared to the often-cited unemployment rate. Immigrants or the foreign born (legal and illegal) are individuals who are not U.S. citizens at birth."
