Illegal immigration lowers pay forblackpoor US citizens
Steven A. Camarota, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies, provided evidence that immigration results in $531 billion in lost wages, largely by boosting competition for work, driving wages down, a benefit to employers
Here's a funny - Steve Bannon blames Asians of taking jobs from Latinos, African Americans !
Bannon’s assertion that Asians comprise the majority of tech C.E.O. positions is way off the mark. A recent study by Ascend, a nonprofit group for Pan-Asian business leaders, concluded that although Asians and Asian Americans are well represented in lower positions at companies— 27 percent of professionals at Silicon Valley tech companies — less than 19 percent of managers, and fewer than 14 percent of executives at Silicon Valley tech companies are Asian or Asian American.
Instead of having an overabundance of Asians in leadership positions, the report’s data strongly suggests that systemic bias prevents Asians and Asian Americans from moving up the career ladder in proportionate numbers.
Ascend also found that when it comes to career advancement in Silicon Valley, race trumps gender. It found that U.S.-born White men and women are 154 percent more likely to have top exec...

Undocumented Immigrants Taking Jobs...
Its a complete faux outrage on the left. Of course additional bodies make it more difficult for low skill workers to achieve higher pay.
When they are illegal and not necessarily paid on the books, or even provided legally required benefits and minimum wage, it crushes unskilled workers all the more. To deny so is akin to denying the ground gets wet when it rains.
I'm guessing that they can change their posts as well?
Thanks! Just posted this on facetwat - I can already hear my mostly leftoid friend's heads explode with cognitive dissonance.

This is a repeating story. There is some competition from "illegals" but not nearly enough to deny the obvious that these teens simply do not want to work and would rather do something else.
It is racist to support illegal immigration. Black American citizens directly suffer from it.
Instead of each country blaming illegals, refugees - whatever, might be a great time to do a root cause analysis and figure out why all of these people are on the move and do something about the cause, not the effect.
They come solely because of someone's good will or try to stay alive another day ?
How about the collateral damage to populations caused by proxy wars ?
Since my first paid work experience at age 14 I learned responsibility, accountability, made contacts, ethics, and much more than I ever would have starting into an I-Phone/I-Pad screen.
Blue collar wages have been mostly stagnant since the 1970s
This is not solely a U.S. and or California problem but that doesn't register with Team Trump supporters.
The world wouldn't have a "rapefugee" problem unless a coalition of countries hadn't upset the apple cart in the Middle East by invading a sovereign country based on false information and outright lies about weapons of mass destruction.
Likewise - who invaded Iraq to get the ball rolling ?
What a great track record we have in this category then since World War II - OMFG
This problem is not solely a U.S. problem...WTF
I was talking about a worldwide problem and the root causes thereof before you brought up California again in true Team Trump fashion
And I added to it because this is not a problem unique to this country.
The poverty and welfare problems in the state pale in comparison to the unfunded pension obligations, the ongoing potable water shortage etc.
The "system" is broken beyond fixing in California and many other states.
When are we going to stop ? We are ramping up the defense budget to new levels every year.
They are competing for work that American teens say they don't want, don't need and are not interested in doing in the first place ?
while the personal attacks continue I see more and more people jumping into discussion on social media like facetwat and NOT holding back on their support for Trumps immigration policy
