More than 2 million new immigrants have arrived to take jobs in the U.S. since 2019, according to a new study released Thursday that challenges a growing chorus of voices arguing the country needs still more immigrants to keep the economy humming.
The Center for Immigration Studies, a think tank that advocates for stricter immigration controls, said the lack of willing workers isn’t a matter of immigration but rather a result of native-born Americans dropping out of the labor pool altogether.
“This decline is a disaster for the economy and more important for society as being out of the labor force is associated with numerous problems including crime, drug abuse and even an early death,” said Steven A. Camarota, the lead author of the new study. That figure dipped during the early days of the pandemic, with just 25.3 million in jobs at the end of 2020. But it came roaring back in 2021, reaching 27.6 million, and soared to 29.4 million at the end of last year — an increase of 2 million over the pre-pandemic figure.
Mr. Camarota’s numbers come just days after a new Gallup poll found Americans souring on the benefits of immigration. Just 8% of those surveyed said they want to see more immigration, while 40% said they want to see less.
