To: Libertarianize the GOP
Before there is a real complaint you need a study showing that the income of non-immigrants has somehow dropped, not just the average income in high immigrant communities.

This article is talking abut the median income in high immigrant communities, not the average income.

However, I shouldn't be surprised that you don't know the difference or got confused, you are after all a Libertarian.

No I am not confusing the terms; median is half the population makes more half makes less. Immigrants make less than the average income. If you increase the percentage of low wage immigrants in the population you will decrease the median income, while not necessarily decreasing the average income of those above the median.
