Kamala Harris’s economy is a disaster for Michiganders. While hardworking Michiganders are struggling, illegal immigrants and foreign-born workers are thriving under her failed leadership. The September jobs report revealed that over 825,000 native-born Americans lost their jobs in the past year while 1.2 million foreign-born workers found employment.
Additionally, manufacturing, a cornerstone of the American workforce, is crumbling. We lost 7,000 manufacturing jobs just last month, on top of the 27,000 lost the month before. Harris’ policies are selling out American workers, putting foreign interests ahead of our own.
There are now over 6.8 million unemployed Americans—an increase of half a million compared to last year. This isn’t just a blip, it’s a clear sign that Kamala Harris is failing to get this country back on track. The labor force participation rate is still far below pre-pandemic levels, showing no real recovery in sight. What’s worse is the sharp rise in long-term unemployment—97,000 more Americans are now trapped in joblessness. While foreign-born workers flourish, our own citizens are left behind.
To make ends meet, more and more Americans are being forced into part-time jobs. Over the last 12 months, 555,000 Americans took on part-time work. Kamala’s America isn’t working for U.S. workers; it’s working for foreign-born workers at the expense of American livelihoods. If this continues, more Michiganders will be fighting for scraps, while the Harris administration turns a blind eye to the struggles of real Americans.
Kamala continues to fail Michiganders, and she doesn’t deserve a promotion for her poor performance.
President Donald J. Trump is the only leader who can turn the economy around. He has a proven track record of raising wages, lowering unemployment, decreasing inflation, and making America Affordable again.
