WDMSO, when you increase the supply of something, do you know what happens to the value of that something? It decreases. It is beyond dispute, that immigration has limited the ability of poor Americans to earn more.
That is a fact. And it's worth considering, when detailing immigration policy. We can't act like there's no downside.
