We could have a billion Americans and keep employing them productively. Immigration has been America’s superpower for 150 years. The real problem is monopoly firms that suppress wages of workers and innovation at the same time. The same monopolies that outsourced our manufacturing. All of which started with deregulation and tightening of immigration controls.

So you’re wrong.

As far as I can tell, the poorest workers' real wages grew, and grew faster than the median workers', on a relative basis, from 2019-2023:

Yes, the simplistic "immigrants are competion" narratives always disregard the fact that immigrants also contribute to the economy and uplift it. For instance, there is a credible theory that the "immigration crisis" was instrumental in managing the inflation crisis: https://fortune.com/2024/04/12/immigration-inflation-economy...

Current unemployment is a very low 4%, which completely contradicts your baseless theory.

Don’t you need a SSN for anything that’s not under the table?

I want to give you the benefit of the doubt here but I can't figure out whether that would mean that you're lying, or that you're stupid.
