[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys know less than nothing about economics. There are more jobs and better economies in places that have immigrant workers than in places that do not; not just more jobs for the immigrants but for everyone. There are no places with sustained economic growth without immigrant labor. [/quote]

The 1990 act cemented in place the corporatization of our immigration system, producing disastrous externalities ever since. Cutting wages by artificially expanding the labor supply increases private wealth at the public’s expense, acting like a highly regressive tax on the lower and middle classes.

Two and a half decades of this "immigration tax" has doubtlessly attributed to today’s growing income inequality with over half the nation now earning less than $30,000 a year. What will we be the state of American labor if we let the immigration status quo persist for another 25 years? For the American worker and our tech professionals in particular, true reform of our immigration system cannot wait.[/quote]
