According to a report released Wednesday by the Pew Hispanic Center, non-citizens captured 29 percent of the jobs created in the U.S. last year. This means that employment for non-citizens rose twice as fast as their overall population. This data may have an effect on how people in so-called battleground states vote in the upcoming presidential election.
