Mathematics really does play here. And with more bodies in a given category, wages will tend to sink where illegals can compete, towards the minimum wage, assuming the jobs are on the books. The stats simply bear this out. The inequality of wages has grown very substantially since illegal immigration gained real momentum. No sweat off my back, but it has changed the social landscape in my neck of the woods. High wage Anglos push paper, often very high value added paper, and low wage folks who work with their muscles tend to be Hispanic, with a huge wage gap. Lower middle class and working class Anglos have to a substantial extent, decamped.
That's their choice in a free state. Their children will be attorney generals and ambassadores.
