May 13, 2010 Gallup Poll Shows Increase in Public Concern on Immigration CNN says a new Gallup Poll shows 10 percent of Americans view illegal immigration as the most important issue the country faces. "This comes as the federal government considers suing over Arizona's tough new immigration law. Attorney General Eric Holder says possible grounds for the lawsuit would be that Arizona's law could lead to civil rights violations. Did I get that right? We're talking about suing over something that hasn't even happened yet?" asks CNN's Jack Cafferty. Matt Towery has a much more blunt message in the Southern Political Report. "Here is a cold, hard fact for those who seek to oppose the Arizona immigration law through boycotts of the state or its products, services or even its sports teams: You're cooked. Your indignation is only hardening the resolve of those who've adopted a zero-tolerance stance toward people living here illegally." Also see Politico coverage of the latest poll numbers.
New CIS Report: Illegal Immigration Undermining Job Prospects for America's Teens "The share of U.S.-born teenagers (16 to 19) in the labor force - working or looking for work - during the summer has been declining for more than a decade, long before the current recession. In 1994, nearly two-thirds of U.S.-born teenagers were in the summer labor force; by 2007 it was less than half. At the same time, the overall number of immigrants (legal and illegal) holding a job doubled," notes CIS researcher Steven A. Camarota. "The evidence indicates that immigration accounts for a significant share of the decline in teen labor force participation. The decline in teen work is worrisome because research shows that those who do not hold jobs as teenagers often fail to develop the work habits necessary to function in the labor market, creating significant negative consequences for them later in life."
