    | The economic logic is correct; More immigration will flood the labor
    | market, so shrinking wages, so reducing the cost of many items,
    | including food and services.
    |
    | But the vast majority of the benefits would go to wealthy investors
    | and employers -- not to the ordinary Americans who might be able to
    | get slightly cheaper groceries as they watch their wages shrink in
    | value.
    |
    | "The larger crisis in the U.S. labor market is [not a lack of
    | immigrants, but]... the dramatic decline in work among working-age
    | people for the last 50 years," said Steve Camarota, research
    | director at the Center for Immigration Studies. "If you look at
    | prime-age men, from the time I was born in 1964 to the present, you
    | have basically an uninterrupted 60-year decline" in the share of men
    | who are working, he said.

    Does Donald Trump regret taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay
    the National Question on the campaign trail against Joe Biden and
    Kamala Harris?

    cutting into the revenue streams of conservative publications, Trump
    was kissing up to those companies and didn't stop until they turned
    on him because he only cares about himself" - Pedro Gonzalez <URL:https://twitter.com/emeriticus/status/1412805591160995843>
