What I don’t get, however, is why the corporations want to depress wages in this country by allowing 30 million illegals in. Who the f*ck will buy their products then? Or are they only after the billions of customers in India and China? We helped them build their conglomerates, but now we don’t matter anymore?
Lower wages mean bigger profits. Most of them can sell their products and they will have 33 million new customers who will need food, shelter, and consumer goods. Yes, per capita, they may buy less, but their numbers will increase GDP. The pie will grow bigger, but everyone will have a smaller slice.
