A map showing the spread of migrants across the United States last year suggests they are displacing blue-collar workers in small towns and cities. Based on immigration court case data, the map provides a county-by-county breakdown of migrant populations.
The data, which show where 1.8 million migrants have settled, reveals significant clusters in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast metro areas, as well as the Midwest and Rust Belt regions. Swing states received 12 percent of all migrants, with significant numbers going to blue counties. The Biden-Harris government and non-governmental organizations seem to have worked to strategically place migrants in smaller towns and cities where they can potentially displace local blue-collar workers.
Reports indicate that, for instance, Haitian migrants transplanted to Charleroi, Pennsylvania, are being used to staff food-packing plants, displacing local workers. Former President Donald J. Trump has personally highlighted how the “small 4,000-person town of Charleroi… has experienced a 2,000 percent increase in the population of Haitian migrants under Kamala Harris,” leaving “the schools scrambling to hire translators for the influx of students who don’t speak English, costing local taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics American-born workers have lost around 1.2 million jobs while migrant workers have gained 1.3 million jobs over the last year. Illegal immigrant labor also plays a significant factor, with some sectors, such as food delivery, seeing an explosion in illegal migrant workers despite lacking valid work permits or vehicle insurance.
In the Biden-Harris economy, Americans have been forced, in some cases, to take on two or more jobs to make ends meet, with many struggling to find enough work hours to pay their bills.
