    regrets taking Jared Kushner's advice to downplay the National
    Question on the campaing trail against Joe Biden and Kamala Harris: <URL:https://www.noozhawk.com/article/joe_guzzardi_immigration_is_an_economic_issue_20220320>`
    | Vernon Briggs, an emeritus Cornell University professor and labor
    | economist, broke down America's immigration history as it affected
    | the U.S. labor force into eras:
    |
    | A>> Continental Expansion, 1820-1879, immigration average, 162,000
    | per year
    |
    | A>> Industrial Revolution, 1880-1924, 584,000 immigrants
    |
    | A>> Rise of Middle Class, 1925-1965, 178,000 immigrants
    |
    | Briggs found that during a high immigration period -- the Industrial
    | Revolution -- wages for American workers were suppressed. But during
    | tight immigration, the Rise of the Middle Class period is recognized
    | as four decades of upward mobility, accompanied by increased
    | productivity and innovation.

    Does "immigration moratorium" poll test well for Bill Stepien?
