Furman carefully excludes immigration as a reason for Americans’ low wages, but his comments come amid a renewed push for amnesty by Congress.
The push comes from Democrats, including Sen. Richard Durbin, and also from some business-first Republicans, including South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham and North Carolina’s Sen. Thom Tillis.
This week, for example, the Senators have been meeting to develop an amnesty plan that would offer token border-security measures against illegal immigration in exchange for legalizing more than 3 million illegals — plus their future chain-migration relatives.
Americans’ wages grew rapidly until the 1965 immigration rewrite expanded the inflow of foreign workers after the 1975 oil-price shock, according to data provided by the Census Bureau in 2017. Since then, wages have been flat, but that stagnation has been partly hidden by the rising quality and declining cost of many items, including coffee, entertainment, and Internet services.
