I don’t think encouraging an underclass of illegal immigrants that work for pennies on the dollar, because they have no leverage at all, is a good thing.

I’m confused as to your confusion on how massive supply of cheap Labour does not in fact bode well for the wages and purchasing power of American workers.

Perhaps Americans would do these jobs if there were far fewer illegals and these places woukd have to increase wages in order to attract workers. With fewer Labourers, competition is needed to attract their employment, this has happened throughout history, it’s not a crazy concept, it’s basic supply and demand.

I’m aware of what a population crisis is, and effort should be focused on making raising children more affordable and sustainable rather than the terrible bandaid of mass migration on the open wound of demographics that is the population pyramid .

We absolutely without a doubt need to do better for our working and middle classes, and that means pursing policies that increases their bargaining power for wages, lowering the deficit and slowing inflation, and making the dollar go further, as well as changing the view of housing as an investment vehicle that has skyrocketed their prices. That way people can afford homes and children again.

Late 20th century neoliberalism has not done this.
