It is LEGAL IMMIGRATION THAT IS DEPRESSING WAGES AND TAKING AMERICAN JOBS. Since 1990 30 million legal permanent immigrants have entered this country. We take in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants a year not counting guest workers. How many jobs must be created to keep up with just immigration?
Illegals are paid under the table. That is part of the “undocumented” stuff. They are paid under the table to avoid even the MW, which overvalues lots of jobs and skill sets.
My point is there would not be all these illegals flooding the country, and cow-towing to their language and paying for their kids and medical issues, by lib commies, if there were no MW. Americans could be paid less, documented, and there would be less “need” for these illegals if we let the market work all its own, including prices for labor.
