[...] Todays massive influx of people has been devastating to the middle class. During the low-immigration period from 1948-1973, real median compensation for U.S. workers increased more than 90 percent. By contrast, real average hourly wages were lower in 2014 than they were in 1973, four decades earlier, the report says.
And the number of green cards doesnt tell the whole story. In addition to permanent resident green cards, Washington has been handing out temporary work permits, such as H1B and L1 visas, referred to as non-immigrant visas. Immigration reform legislation supported by Sens. Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz would triple the number of guest-worker visas.
Unrestricted immigration is the holy grail sought by the corporate elite that funds both political parties. They want cheap labor, any place, any time and to get it, they will move factories from Canton, Ohio, to Canton, China. Barring that, they will bring temporary workers to toil here.
Their vision and goal is a universal economic order in which people, goods and capital flow freely. This is precisely the language used to describe both the European Union and the Trans-Pacific Partnership proposed by President Obama.
Its proponents idealize such a borderless world as a formula for world peace as John Lennon would imagine. But it is the peace of slaves. Deracinated rootless labor has been the scourge of mankind since time immemorial. Todays Rohingya refugees harvesting palm oil on plantations in Malaysia and Filipina domestics scrubbing palace floors in the Persian Gulf are in league with the migrant labor Cecil Rhodes connived to dig diamonds from the fields of Kimberley.

[H-1B smoocher via FReepmail:] If these are the same American STEMs I get to interview once a quarter, theres a reason why they are unemployed. Not all graduates are the same. Those that are good have a job on hand before graduation.
Whereas all H-1B hires are top quality? I've interviewed, and worked with, H-1Bs who didn't know their posterior orifices from a hole in the ground - and many other FReepers have posted similar observations.
Ah yes, accordingly, these unemployed STEMs must find unemployment better than being employed at what are alleged to be lower pay scales that the H1Bs get...
I see I let you plant the axiom that they're unemployed. One can leave the STEM field and still get paid more than the Third World drone indentured serfs of H-1B.
And their low pay is not merely an "allegation":
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Replace Americans with Cheap Foreign Workers
H-1B Is Designed to Allow Employers to Pay Foreign Workers Extremely Low Wages
(What's with all the H-1B smoochers FReepmailing me their nonsense? No guts to state their views publicly?
I missed your reply to these questions.
LOL.
Which jobs might these be? And what ranges of total compensation are we talking about between the two?
I don't know - let me know if you find out ... and in the meantime, explain why it matters.

I quit posting on threads over seven years ago, and wont be changing that policy to placate you.
That's cool - your clinging to anonymity speaks volumes, and I'll continue letting FR hear.
Name names.
LOL.

Because you claimed so - that STEM graduates are working on non-STEM fields because they make more money there.
Which part of "can" did you not understand? The only claim here is yours: "they are unemployed".
It matters because STEM jobs pay well
Not as well as they did before the flood of H-1B Third World drone indentured serfs.
