The working class pays the cost of migration by lower wages and competition with migrants for housing, education, and welfare benefits.

Third, The narrative is they lower wages, take up public resources, and live in homes that could be occupied by Americans.[/quote]
Do you have an equivalent study with actual data to demonstrate these points? Or did you simply pull them from your rectum?[/quote]

RealtyChek economist Alan Tonelson recently published findings comparing 2024 and 2025 wage trends that show that the decrease in illegal hiring this year has led to increased wages across many working-class industries that heavily hire illegal workers.
 
Tonelson concludes:

[i]“These findings, of course, conform entirely with the uncontroversial idea that, all else equal, when the supply of anything (including people) grows faster than the demand, the price of that thing tends to fall.”[/i]

and

[i]"The above figures don’t mean that nothing about the Trump deportation policies can be legitimately criticized.  But they certainly make clear that exempting non-criminal illegal aliens from immigration crackdowns will be doing a major injustice to a huge number of legally resident Americans.  "[/i]

[b]Congress can expand upon this trend of increasing wages for the working class and decreasing inequality by passing E-Verify legislation.
