Do you think that there's a relationship between wages and population growth? Especially for populations which already have high barriers to obtaining viable wages?
I have a 100+ dapped post in an older illegal immigration thread where I already explained my views on it.
There is a relationship between wages and population growth predicated on a myriad of circumstances.
High population growth within the "unskilled labour markets"
generally will drive down wages in that specific market.
In this case, a whole bunch of border-line retarded unskilled White and Black workers are complaining that illegal Mexican rural farmers are taking their jobs.
The complaint is rooted in the fact that the groups job security was in the low wages themselves, no one but them wanted to pick fruit or do domestic labour for $7 until the refugees and immigrants came over, ready and willing to do any labour.
I'm unaffected because I actually graduated from high school and have a college education, the only immigration that affects my job prospects are high-skilled immigrants from West Africa and East Asia, who have the same tenacity as the Mexican and Central Americans who are coming ready to work themselves to the bone for the international lie of "The American Dream."
TLDR: If you pick fruit for a living, or clean houses for a living, illegal immigration will affect you otherwise, there are far bigger issues at hand.
Also: I never seem to hear about illegal Russian immigration (many of whom are coming to the US with ties to international crime syndicates), nor of East Asian illegal immigration which represent the second and third largest groups of "illegal immigrants."
