Bush left the evidence underneath his own Oval Office desk. He could have used his own 2005 Economic Report of the President. That report found that 58 percent of America’s total employment growth of 11 million workers between 1996 and 2003 came from the ranks of the foreign born. Immigrants accounted for 84 percent of employment growth from 1996 to 2003 in Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Wisconsin.
