Immigrants

As President Biden leaves office, he points out that during his term he created 15 million new jobs. In 2019 the labor participation rate was 63.5 and 168 million people were working. Today the labor participation rate is 62.5 and 162 million are working. Covid ended the longest employment recovery in history and resulted in 23 million losing their jobs. Most of the jobs created during the Biden years were people returning after Covid while many chose not to return. As reshoring gathers steam over the next ten years employment will rise rapidly. The country will need many of the illegal migrants who are here so deportations should center around criminals. Then the government should concentrate on the 340,000 missing children. In time the migrants will have the opportunity to get work permits which can lead to green cards. Legal immigrants will be needed especially those with certain skills.
