I dare say that immigration of poor uneducated Hispanics has devastated some urban school districts, which in turn has decimated urban neighborhoods.
But no one talks about the economic impact of this. |

Plus, limiting the labor supply by not allowing recent immigrants to have an entry point into the economy is exactly what you would want to do to "promote" those kinds of jobs. Think about it. Less labor supply for work that needs to be done means business will have no choice but to pay more for those jobs and make them more attractive (and raise your prices to pay for it). You're actually arguing for the the exact opposite. If you want to promote the pay scale and prestige of a job then you create barriers to entry. Last edited by BlueK; 03-29-2016 at 08:59 PM. |

Virtually all reputable progressive mainstream economists support Hillary. I haven't seen a single one back Bernie yet.

I am actually in favor of limiting labor supply of low skilled jobs. I believe technology will eventually replace all of those jobs.

It would happen anyway. Let the free market figure it out. I don't think there is any reason for the government to make the call on how and when the economy decides to automate certain jobs because being the government they'll probably screw it up somehow. None of this changes the curious fact that conservatives don't trust the free market in some things even though they pay it so much lip service otherwise. I personally think for most people it's a case of being uncomfortable with the social/cultural changes immigrants make on the country, so they try to find less emotional and economic reasons to explain their opposition to it. As Chinocoug already pointed out, the data currently shows that the level of illegal immigration right now is the lowest it has been in years. When the jobs aren't available, folks don't come, just as you wouldn't move to another state if you didn't think you could get a job there.

The market has a self-correcting mechanism. It appears lost on Archaea as he keeps on thinking like an engineer on this issue.
