On the eve of the 2020 election Donald Trump, in a post on the platform formerly known as Twitter, told voters that "This election is a choice between a TRUMP RECOVERY or a BIDEN DEPRESSION." Not quite. Since President Biden took office, the United States has gained 15.7 million jobs.
Trump, however, has been dismissing the good news on employment, claiming that all the job gains are going to illegal immigrants. In my most recent column I addressed his further claim that immigration has had a devastating effect on Black workers. (It hasn't.)
