The majority of Americans oppose lax immigration or open borders that obama constantly works for...so why is it our leadership simply fails to understand what the people want? I think it is more like they do not care what the people want....they are driven by an agenda which they fallaciously believe makes them morally superior aka helping the helpless in this world...but at what price? Charity should begin at home...lots of Americans unemployed, lots of Americans live in poverty etc.etc. Yet this government and its dupes prefer to help foreigners rather than Americans...that cannot be denied...it is quite obvious...even so called American Labor Unions go along with the b.s. agenda this administration is forcing on the people....why is that? I thought unions were supposed to look out for the workers?
National Data | So Immigrants Displace American Workers—But What About The Impact Of Immigrants’ Children?...

For 12 years, VDARE.com has waged a lonely struggle to get it through the thick skulls of Main Stream Media commenters (and, more scandalously, professional economists) that the monthly job numbers issued by the federal government must be viewed in the context of renewed mass immigration. Occasionally, it looks like themessage is getting through. But no-one at all pays attention to the fact that it’s now nearly fifty years since the 1965 Immigration Act kicked in, and the children of immigrants—who with immigrants are what demographers call the “immigrant stock”—are now also having an impact on the job prospects and wages of the Historic American Nation, the native-born Americans derived from the population already here in 1965. What follows is VDARE.com’s attempt to quantify that impact.
The background: Paul Samuelson, the first American to win a Nobel Prize in economics, wrote shortly before enactment of the 1965 Immigration Act.
After World War I, laws were passed severely limiting immigration. Only a trickle of immigrants has been admitted since then…By keeping supply down, immigration policy tends to keep wages high. Let us underline this basic principle: Limitation in the supply of any grade of labor relative to all other productive factors can be expected to raise its wage rate; an increase in supply will, other things being equal, tend to depress wage rates.
