"Democrats just admitted that immigration depresses American workers' wages - and they're arguing it's a good thing?"
Newsweek's Mark Theis op-ed "The Democrats' Plan to Fix Inflation: Squeeze Blue-Collar Americans, paints a fairly concerning picture that the Democrats are admitting that immigration depresses American workers' wages - and they're arguing that it's a good thing.
"It's definitionally true that bringing in more foreign workers--who are also potential consumers--grows the economy. But so would annexing Canada. Or Mexico. Merely boosting overall output and consumption is a callous affront to the American worker if the per-capita GDP doesn't increase and the typical American worker reaps no additional benefits.
...Many illegal immigrants are kind, hardworking folks with sympathetic stories. But opening the gates to a flood of foreign workers would hurt the Americans who most need our support."
