We are bringing in 1.2 million legal immigrants every year. 25% of the adults lack even a high school diploma. It expains partially why our wages are declining. We are bringing in 125,000 legal foreign workers a month right now. This includes permanent immigrants and those on temporary work visas. And now Obama is giving an amnesty to over a million illegal aliens up to the age of 30.
I am talking politics, but I do recognize and lament the long term trend . Personally, I attribute it to demographic inversion. Those guys back in the fifties knew they had 4 kids to raise at home. From my personal experience, there is no greater motivator. To the extent our society moves away from that, it’s going to be increasingly difficult for politics to fix. Likely, the more they try , the worse it will get.
