I guess this election IS going to be about immigration after all.
There’s a reason why hourly wages haven’t gone up in a while, and it has to do with importing cheap labor illegally, or legally through HB1 visas.
The ironic thing is that Robert Reich is an outspoken proponent of illegal immigration. You should hear some of the rants he’s done on NPR, excoriating the “nativists” and whatnot.
