#1 Stupid f---s.

George Borjas of Harvard studied this DECADES ago and demonstrated that illegal immigration in this country results in, on average, a 9% reduction in wages.

Anyone with a functioning brain could have seen this: decrease supply of a commodity, hold demand equal, watch the market-clearing price increase.

Instead we've seen US real wages decline for over 30 years - until Teump reminded the nation of what Congresswoman Baebaea Jordan of Houston said in the mid-1990s: illegal immigration is a scourge.

It is devastating this nation. It is the biggest threat, by far, to the prospect of a normal life for every member of our native-born working class.

It must end if we are to remain a democracy.
