vbierschwale You will have to forgive my cussing.
I’ve had enough.
One person just said this is the best campaign video he has ever seen.
Lets hope so because I want to put Texans and Americans back to work and tell these folks to go fly a kite.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Virgil Bierschwale Launches Campaign For U.S. Senate: Exposes Governor Abbott’s Misleading Jobs Claims
Austin, Texas — September 23, 2025 — Virgil Bierschwale today announced his candidacy for the United States Senate, challenging Senator John Cornyn and pledging to defeat top contenders Attorney General Ken Paxton and Congressman Colin Allred.
Bierschwale, a Texas-based advocate for American workers and founder of Guest Worker Visas, launched his campaign on the promise to put Texans first in the workforce, accusing Governor Greg Abbott of misleading the public with inflated job growth claims.
Governor Abbott’s recent press release declared Texas “America’s jobs leader” with 195,600 jobs gained over the last year
However, Abbott failed to reveal that while Texans make up roughly 80% of the workforce, they are only receiving about 50% of the jobs being reported as “created.”
“Texans deserve leaders who tell the truth,” said Virgil Bierschwale. “Governor Abbott brags about job creation while ignoring the fact that Texans are being shortchanged. And by their silence, John Cornyn and Ken Paxton are complicit. I’m running for the U.S. Senate to make sure Texans aren’t cheated out of the opportunities they’ve earned. My goal is simple: Texans should receive 100% of the jobs created in Texas.”
Accountability in Leadership: Exposing misleading claims from elected officials and demanding transparency in workforce reporting.
Putting Texans First: Ensuring Texans — not foreign visa workers or outside interests — benefit fully from jobs created in their own state.
Challenging the Establishment: Offering a bold alternative to Cornyn, Paxton, and Allred, who represent politics as usual rather than Texans’ best interests.
Virgil Bierschwale is a Texas veteran, researcher of labor and visa programs, and founder of Guest Worker Visas. His campaign for the U.S. Senate is grounded in his lifelong mission to defend American workers, restore fairness in the job market, and hold Washington accountable.

How We Calculate Native-Born vs. Foreign-Born Job Shares
Data we use
Monthly employment counts from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (CPS, age 16+): one number for foreign-born workers and one for native-born workers. (Totals include self-employed.)
Our baseline
We fix a starting point: January 2007. That lets everyone see how much each group has grown since before the Great Recession.
Step-by-step (what the charts show)
Find the change since Jan 2007
Foreign-born gain = Foreign-born this month − Foreign-born in Jan 2007
Native-born gain = Native-born this month − Native-born in Jan 2007
Total gain = foreign-born gain + native-born gain
(That’s the bar chart: three bars = FB gain, NB gain, Total gain.)
Turn those gains into shares (the pie chart)
Foreign-born share of job gains = foreign-born gain ÷ total gain
Native-born share of job gains = native-born gain ÷ total gain
Example from our current chart: if FB gained 8.3 million and NB gained 10.3 million since Jan 2007, total gain is 18.6 million → shares ≈ 44.5% (FB) and 55.5% (NB).
Why this is intuitive
We’re not debating models; we’re counting people.
It answers a simple question: “Of all the net jobs added since Jan 2007, who got them?”
Notes & guardrails
Counts are in thousands of people; not seasonally adjusted CPS.
“Share of job gains” can swing if one group falls while the other rises, but the two shares always sum to 100%.
