Productivity is on the rise in this country. Productivity increases but workers incomes do not increase. Why? Those who hire them do not have to increase those incomes even as workers become more productive because they have a supply of cheap labor coming in. Transportation jobs--you cant find Americans to do them? Not true. Manufacturing jobs94 percent of manufacturing jobs are jobs that are performed by American citizens or legal immigrants. I have made the point before that there is no one in this Chamber who has lost their job because of a job being outsourced. But there are so many Americans who understand this.
Identified stereotypes
Immigrants are willing to work for lower wages, suppressing wage growth for American workers.
