The report indicates that native-born American workers have seen a net loss of 1.3 million jobs since August 2023. In stark contrast, foreign-born workers have gained over 1.2 million jobs during the same period. This trend has raised concerns that native-born Americans are being left behind in a shifting job market, while the influx of foreign-born workers fills an increasing number of positions.
Economist E.J. Antoni echoed these concerns, stating, “Aug jobs report shows more pain for native-born Americans, who’ve lost more than 1.3 million jobs over the last year, while foreign-born workers have gained over 1.2 million jobs – the American worker has been left behind in this ‘recovery’…”
Beyond the numbers, there’s another troubling trend: the types of jobs being created. Greg Price, a conservative commentator, highlighted that many of the new jobs are part-time positions, while full-time employment opportunities have declined.
The shift toward part-time work leaves many struggling Americans with fewer opportunities for stable, full-time jobs that can support families. For those who are barely scraping by, the decline in full-time positions makes their situation even more precarious.
This employment shift is not just about job numbers, but the quality of those jobs. The rise in part-time employment further compounds the challenges faced by native-born workers, who are increasingly forced into lower-wage, less stable jobs that offer little in the way of benefits or long-term security.
These statistics paint a stark picture of the American economy, one where affluent elites seem out of touch with the struggles of everyday Americans. For those in comfortable positions, the headlines about “jobs created” may give the illusion of a robust economy. However, for millions of Americans facing job losses or having to settle for part-time work, the reality is much grimmer.
Critics argue that the current administration’s open-border policies are exacerbating the problem. They claim these policies are driving a wedge between native-born Americans and their access to decent jobs. For many conservatives, this looks like an intentional effort to create a two-tiered society—one where the wealthy enjoy privilege while ordinary citizens are left to compete with a growing pool of foreign-born workers for fewer and fewer quality jobs.
The net job losses for native-born Americans, coupled with the rise in employment for foreign-born workers, is a trend that conservative voices warn cannot be ignored. The fear is that this situation is not the result of an economic downturn but the outcome of deliberate policies designed to weaken the economic standing of native-born Americans.
For many conservatives, the answer to this problem lies in the 2024 election. The belief is that unless there’s a change in leadership, these trends will only continue, pushing more Americans out of the workforce or into part-time positions that offer little security.

The narrative forming on the right suggests that President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are overseeing policies that favor foreign-born workers at the expense of native-born Americans. Critics argue that unless these policies are reversed, the country could move closer to a neo-feudal system, where the majority are left dependent on the elite few.
Former President Donald Trump has been positioned as the solution by many conservatives, with hopes that a return to his administration’s policies will restore balance in the workforce. As calls for immigration reform grow louder, the stakes in the upcoming election have never been higher for native-born Americans who feel their livelihoods are at risk.
The August jobs report may have fallen short of expectations, but its underlying data tells a much more troubling story about the state of employment in the U.S. As native-born workers continue to lose ground, it’s clear that immigration and job creation will be central issues in the political landscape moving forward.
In the eyes of many, the time for action is now—before even more native-born Americans are left behind in the so-called economic recovery.
