I would find this more believe-able if there was not so much evidence that wages are falling in job categories that used to put American citizens in the bottom end of the middle class. But wages for things like framing, dry wall hanging, roofing etc have seen 25% to 50% reductions in areas where illegals are colonizing these job categories.
If there was a labor shortage wouldn't common sense and the laws of supply and demand suggest that wages would be going up?
Not in Texas. Maybe in states that have traditionally been dominated by trade unions.
