Do you have any justification for your position that the legal immigrants over the past couple of years are working for less? My impression from the news over this time has been that most of these are tech jobs, and these legal immigrants are better educated and simply more qualified than resident Americans. |
So would you go to Goldman Sachs to get a report on the values of buying CDO's? Did it ever occur to you that those companies publishing the news that you are taking as gospel have an agenda? Is it remotely possible that they are outsourcing and are loaded up with H1B's? What would you expect them to say vis a vis the skillset? Bottom line is those jobs leaving means less buying power to fuel our economy or at least less buying power for the masses. You can't have 99% of the wealth in the hands of 1% of the people. FWIW my wife and are are in the top 95% of income but I am not blind that this country is in a death spiral.
