Immigrants with disabilities more frequently employed than US-born persons with disabilities(Eurekalert,CIRP)

Tuesday, March 9th, 2010


SJCRG: First of all we learn that immigration stands at 13 % in the US. Note that the author does not distinguish between legal and illegal immigration.
Two ways to look at the numbers:
1) Foreign Born disabled have no benefits and have to work
2) Foreign Born workers command lesser wages
3) Foreign Born workers are “less trouble” and more easily exploited
Seems that this applies more to illegal immegrants, maybe to legal ones, and certainly not to foreign born US citizens!
The confusion continues….
