by One of many comical moments we now seem to have in the wake of Trump’s victory, and, curiously, on Fox news:[embedded content]Yes, mass immigration is a weapon of class warfare. Tucker Carlson is correct (although he did not put it explicitly in the way I just did). The response of this “socialist” is lame. Even if you raised the minimum wage in the US, illegal mass immigration still causes downward pressure on wages because so much of the labour that illegal migrants do is off the books or on the black market, with their pay given under the table, as it were. And it still creates massive competition for scare employment. And what about H-1B visas where migrants are imported and American citizens fired?And this is *before* we even get to the social and cultural harm done by Third World mass immigration, which is in addition to the economic harm.What a time we live in.
