Wrong.
>wage stagnation
It’s basic supply and demand. When millions of undocumented workers enter the labor pool, especially in low-skill sectors, it increases competition and undercuts wages. Employers now have access to a shadow workforce that’s less likely to unionize or demand benefits. That absolutely puts downward pressure on pay for legal workers, particularly the working class.
>housing costs
More people in a community means more demand for housing. Illegal immigration has been a huge driver of population growth in some regions without a corresponding increase in housing stock.
>strain on public resources
While the wealthy do benefit from tax breaks, let’s not pretend illegal immigrants aren’t a cost. Public schools, emergency rooms, and infrastructure are all strained by the wetbacks. That burden gets shifted to the middle class in a way that's much more meaningful than Trump's bill.
>scapegoat
Maybe. But scapegoating doesn’t mean imaginary. Two things can be true: yes, corporations and elites exploit the system, but also illegal immigration enables it. One feeds the other. If we let employers get away with hiring under-the-table labor, why wouldn’t they depress wages?
