• MEDIA: January Jobs--Immigrants Seriously Displacing American Workers;

    From John D Groenveld@21:1/5 to All on Sat Feb 26 13:02:42 2022
    VDare's Peter Brimelow on whether Donald Trump regrets taking Jared
    Kushner's advice to downplay the National Question on the campaign
    trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://vdare.com/articles/national-data-january-jobs-immigrants-seriously-displacing-american-workers-political-class-doesn-t-want-to-know>
    | Of course the White House crowed about January's stronger-than-
    | expected jobs report [Biden takes victory lap with January jobs
    | report, by Nick Niedzwiadek, Politico, February 4, 2022]. But what's
    | surprising--well, maybe not surprising given Conservatism Inc.'s
    | general brain-deadness--is that the GOP had no clear response
    | [Biden-era job growth is so good, the GOP is literally speechless,
    | by Steve Benen, MSNBC, February 7, 2022]. What both missed: much or
    | all of that job growth, depending which measure you use, was taken
    | by immigrants. And the growth in the immigrant labor force was even
    | greater still. Oh, and wage growth--nominal wage growth minus
    | inflation--was actually negative.

    Do Marty Walsh and Alejandro Mayorkas see eye to eye during
    Biden-Harris cabinet meetings on tamping down inflation by importing
    scab workers for the Cheap Labor Lobby?

    "People make up norms that never existed and pretend everyone was
    civil about criticizing Trump. LGB fits in with American history.
    The norm being shattered is that criticism of the president is now
    treated as terrorism" - Scott Greer <URL:https://twitter.com/ScottMGreer/status/1477663140913594372>
