And with record low unemployment and continued job growth we may need more MERIT BASED legal immigrants?

Wow wages are up 3% barley keeping pace with inflation So we don't need any more immigrants what we need are higher wages for all. The Republican Party is useless and dangerous even more so it seems than the Democrats.

Based on supply and demand what would happen to wages when the wall is built and 20 million illegals can’t work?

Exactly! If there is a real shortage, you see wage growth, and without increased productivity, a reduction in profits, and thus the “precious” stock market takes a short term hit as they pay more wages. I really think it’s a mistake of this administration to focus so much on the Dow Jones. Wages vs cost of living are better measures.
