Most US manufacturing jobs lost to technology, not trade

Yes. The immigrants coming here illegally are not taking up large swaths of middle class or upper class jobs. Surely they are working somewhere, right?
So then where are they working? I am talking about lower skilled jobs which includes some manufacturing but we are now more a service economy which means they are taking service jobs in addition to some manufacturing.
Yes, this has been going on for 100 years but break that down into legal and illegal immigration, please.
As for the wages, I worked for under 3 in HS, 4-6 in my late teens, and commission for years after that had lower hourly pay then asking if you want extra salt with your fries. But I worked my way out of that and chased skills and positions that allowed me to grow.
Grow so I would not have a family in the projects or on welfare. So yes, I know precisely what this is about.
