The U.S. annually brings in millions of mostly low-skilled immigrants. In the last decade the U.S. admitted, not counting millions of illegal immigrants, tens of millions legal immigrants alone, forcing American workers to compete against a growing population of low-wage workers, allowing employers to reduce wages thanks to the annual low-skilled immigration scheme.
Mass immigration comes at the expense of America’s working and middle class, which has suffered too from poor job growth, stagnant wages, and increased public costs to offset the importation of millions of low-skilled foreign nationals. However, the Washington, DC-imposed mass immigration policy(1), that they incorporated into our immigration laws and policies, through procedures in violation of our Constitution’s constructs, is a boon to the left-wing/democrat Party, who are anticipating locking in voters that are dependent on government handouts libs/dems create. But, consequently every 1% increase in the immigrant composition of an occupation’s labor force reduces Americans’ hourly wages by 0.4%. Every 1% increase in the immigrant workforce reduces Americans’ overall wages by 0.8%. 4 million young Americans enter the workforce every year, but their job opportunities are diminished as the U.S. imports roughly 2 new foreign workers for every 4 American workers who enter the workforce.
For blue-collar American workers, mass immigration has not only kept wages down but in many cases decreased wages. There is ample evidence that American workers primarily at the bottom of the labor market or negatively affected by immigration into our country. Among the winners of that migration are those who tend to be better educated and higher paid workers. At least 9 major, significant studies, including one by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine and one from the National Bureau of Economic Research-- whose conclusions both have been lied about by the left-wing media--and also including an on-going study done by Harvard's George Borjas, generally considered the leading immigration economist in the country, which, by the way, makes him hated, reviled and lied about by left-wing/democrats who have proven can't handle or be expected to voice the truth. Out-of-control mass immigration is an ongoing lesson in how politicians, journalists, and so-called "experts" of all stripes can be so consequentially wrong about their predictions and promises.
