Literally every credible empirical analysis finds that immigrants - both legal and illegal - do not suppress native-born wages, and, in many instances, increase native-born wages. |

factually wrong our policies continue to screw low wage African Americans. and we have known this for decades. people need good jobs to thrive in our capitalism The 1980-2000 immigrant influx, therefore, generally 'explains' about 20 to 60 percent of the decline in wages, 25 percent of the decline in employment, and about 10 percent of the rise in incarceration rates among blacks with a high school education or less Almost everybody knows that in the past 40 years, the real wages and job prospects for low-skilled men, especially low-skilled minority workers, have fallen. And there is evidence, that a rising tide of immigration is to blame. Now, a new NBER study suggests that immigration has more far-reaching consequences than merely depressing wages and lowering employment rates of low-skilled African-American males: its effects also appear to push some would-be workers into crime and, later, into prison. https://www.nber.org/digest/may07/effects-immigration-african-american-employment-and-incarceration When the supply of workers goes up, the price that firms have to pay to hire workers goes down. Wage trends over the past half-century suggest that a 10 percent increase in the number of workers with a particular set of skills probably lowers the wage of that group by at least 3 percent. Immigration redistributes wealth from those who compete with immigrants to those who use immigrants—from the employee to the employer. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/09/trump-clinton-immigration-economy-unemployment-jobs-214216/ |

I consider labor shortages wonderful. I have never known anything bad to come from a labor shortage, and what we are doing with our immigration policy is keeping the labor market in constant surplus. Vernon Briggs Cornell Labor Economist The underlying truth about the immigration battle is that is is fundamentally between those with an insatiable appetite for more cheap, disposable, foreign workers, and those who embrace the social good of tight labor markets. |

forget Econ 101, this college graduate is pointing out that 1 plus 2 equals 5. physics need not apply. add more workers to the supply of workers cause wages to rise. simply magical in the land of Biden followers |

Honestly, I am hoping the same. He is such a depressing choice. We need someone vigorous! Sharp, energetic, charismatic, smart. Like another Obama or Clinton. Sigh… |

Be realistic.
Last time, we were in covid so he could hide. That won't happen again. Any contender will take Biden apart. I'm not saying they'll necessarily vote against him. They'll just stay home. Many dems are tiring of wokeness and the flubs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmCM7PeJsZQ |

| Which is worse - 81 million voting for a basement dweller or a 36% approval rating (the worse ever for a sitting president)? |
