Is America ready to pay the price for cheap labor?

=================================

That is to say, if one increases the supply of labor relative to demand, its price will fall.

That price is your salary, friend.

And mass immigration is inexorably driving it down.

Maybe you can show me a single product that has reduced in price due to lower labor?

As we have seem with oil, the cheaper the cost the more the government will tax it to get more revenue.

Pay the person like a hamburger flipper and you will get a hamburger flipper as an employee.

More of something does reduce its price, not necessarily its cost. Ever hear of sales ?

What economics theory are you using to claim a false model ?

America was founded on the concept – well understood by Alexander Hamilton and the other economic sophisticates among the founders – of a middle-class society, i.e. a society organized to minimize the number of people who constitute cheap labor. Cheap labor was the proletariat which drove Europe’s class-ridden and undemocratic politics, the nightmare of revolution and reaction America was founded to escape.

This is utter bullsh!t. At its founding, much of the U.S. economy revolved around an agricultural "industry" that relied heavily on slave labor and tenant farming.

Not one item has gone down in price. As a matter of fact it goes up and continues to go up.

The get rich elitists are hard at work and begging for cheaper labor yet.

How can it go away when there still hasn't been serious attempts to address it.

Looks like Kookifornia already has driver's licenses ready for them:
