On a similar note, I notice that the approximate 5% unemployment rate matched up nicely to the supposed 5% of US workers being illegal immigrants. It came up when they were having their big day without Mexicans. I’d have to assume that the unemployment rate would go down a bit if there were less illegals taking jobs.
My company hires kids for $9.50 an hour during school breaks. I made sure my oldest son got one of the hardest jobs in the plant just so he wouldn’t get any dumb ideas about staying long term instead of going on to college.
The Cato Institute has a report out that goes into great depth about the correlation between depressed wages due to influxes of illegal aliens, and the effects on the poor and working class children in this country.
