All the economists agreed on that. A lowskill worker is not a net benefit for America at this point. They questioned chain migration. They suggested we should question more about the skill sets of people who want to come here. They discussed the fact that there is strong evidence that workers wages. middleclass and lowendskill wages today are depressed by larger numbers of immigrants who come in who are willing to work for less. Why would we think the law of supply and demand worked for every other component of our American economy but doesnt work for labor? How silly is that?
