Economics 101:
Increase supply of workers and bidding for workers will take a nose dive.
Increase supply of workers for a limited number of jobs and, obviously, the number without jobs will increase.
Paging Captain Obvious!
Labor participation has plummeted under Zero, and anyone who thinks this ISN’T intentional is kidding themselves. Shut down of the private sector, slowly but steadily since 2008.. ‘Cloward & Piven’ in slow motion but accelerated since 2008.
If de facto amnesty is adopted, wages will be suppressed for the lower-skill jobs to the point of minimum wage. Individuals who have college degrees will also feel downward wage pressure as the process will also legalize a lot of tech workers. The result is that wages will be held low or driven lower throughout the US economy and the population will be increasingly populated with the “baby bird” Democrats.
Every time I hear a Republican, even the most well-intentioned one, mention Commie Care so objectively, I get angry. Because they’re exempt. It’s not a “class warfare” kind of thing, because I don’t envy people who are more wealthy than I am, or think they should have to share their own wealth (crony capitalism is a different animal). But laws that exempt the lawmakers from the onerous burdens they impose on the rest of us are a different thing, and I don’t understand how any patriotic Congressman wouldn’t stay angry at that being done to his fellow Americans.
Don’t explain this to Obama. He’ll make it a priority policy. ...Well, uh, he already has. If it is bad for America, it has a champion in Obama.
Not necessarily so - nothing that an aspiring civil service bureaucrat runt working for the BLS could not take care of by decreasing the denominator of Americans working.
Democrats want a proletariat. America never had a proletariat before illegal immigration:

Over the past few years, it seems, everybody and his brother speaks about the capitalist system in America. Before, using the word was the hallmark of marxist training or influence. Yet lately, everybody is using the word - regardless of political leaning.
It bothers me because capitalism - the word and the concept - was the brainchild of Karl Marx. As well as offering an “-ism” opposite his own -ism, it describes a rigid class society in which one class possesses the means of production, the other nothing except its labor. The latter class is called “The Proletariat” who, as Lenin declared, can lose nothing but its chains when it rises against the oppressor.
This is not the place to argue whether capitalism was the appropriate way to describe certain European societies. The point is that owning things has always been open to Americans. The moment you buy one share of stock, you part-own “means of production,” not to mention owning your home and arriving at your place of work in your own automobile - a very American image.
America never had a proletariat.

Tom Cotton is one of the few bright spots of this election cycle.
It is RACIST to impose SLAVE WAGES on LEGAL Immigrants and minorities by flooding the labor market with ILLEGAL Immigrants.
The true goal of amnesty is NOT “to drive down wages in America and increase unemployment”.
Amnesty is the final stake in America and our Constitution to grant voter status to 40 MILLION ILLEGAL INVADERS who will ALWAYS vote for more free stuff.
This will guarantee a leftist Federal govt & SCOTUS for the next 100 years at the very least.
Combined with CommieCare, America becomes a leftwing Communist dicktatorship.
FOREVER.
