Jon Purizhansky, the founder of Joblio.co, points out that as of 2021, the nation’s 10.5 million unauthorized immigrants represented about 3% of the total US population and 22% of the foreign-born population. With the recent influx of foreign nationals coming to the US through its southern border, the number of unauthorized immigrants could now be close to 15 or even 20 million people. In the absence of a work-authorized workforce, desperate employers often take legal risks by hiring unauthorized aliens. Not providing these populations with work authorizations has not only fueled non-compliance among employers but also deprived the government of tax revenues and contributed to growing inflation.
