Democrats are coming under fire on two fronts for immigration and minimum wage plans that critics say will hurt the poorest Americans the most.
The Democrats released a plan this week to create a path to citizenship for roughly 11 million immigrants now living illegally in the U.S. The plan will hurt poorer Americans with its depressing effect on wages for U.S. citizens and legal immigrants, according to Joseph LaVorgna, chief economist at the National Economic Council during the Trump administration.
The Democrats’ plan would allow more immigrant labor from low-skilled workers, creating more competition for those low-skilled jobs, which in turn lowers the price employers are willing to pay, explained LaVorgna.
Stock market tanking….gas prices exploding…another $2 trillion about ready to be approved. Is anyone (those voters) watching this ship show.
And we arent near the 1st 100 days.
Who writes this garbage?
There are no lower wages if the minimum is $15.
Therefore no one can suppress wages any lower than $15.
Reality is :
More low wage earners will quit work to stay on welfare, hud, food stamps, because they do not want to be responsible for themselves and have to work for a living.
Illegals will get $15 an hour and still reap all the rest of the benefits they may illegally be getting.
