    If 95% of Americans are beating down each other for 10% of the wealth there is something wrong. Support Labor and policies that require billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes to lessen our burden and stick with them until the financial burden is lifted from the middle and lower class.

      Look up 10% already paid 90% of taxes, the bottom 50% pay about 2% of taxes, the government needs to spend less not take more.

    You invited 13 million new people over and only build 3 million houses-it’s made housing and jobs. Hyper competitive, wages have been flat for decades because employers pay the minimum they have to. It’s why corporations love it!

      They didn't invite people, they came by themselves. And there is also a population growth beside that, and specualtive estate traders don't want to/can't build enough houses becuase they aren't worth it and because car-centric urban spread and regulations make building certain housing types banned for not valid reason, just car lobbying.

    The only sector where wages/jobs have degraded is in construction. That is a real change. In the 70s union construction contractors--masons, plumbers, drywallers, etc., made a living wage. They did a lot of the home and small commercial building jobs at union scale. No more.

      Harris/Walz are going on record as promoting the expansion of affordable housing. Why would that not benefit these trades? Logic would say this would benefit both local and immigrant hiring in America.

      We have invited 13 million people over, but only built 3 million houses- it makes our finite amount of jobs and housing hyper competitive, and the proof is 30 years of flat wages!! Biden had a one percent wage growth.

    As far as any studies being persuasive, people believe what they _want_ to believe. Human beings are hard-wired to feel an aversion to those who are "different" by ethnicity, by nationality, by skin color, by religion, by gender identity, or whatever. That natural abhorrence is the overwhelming problem. This primitive nature is norm-washed by whatever statistics serve that purpose. Unfortunately, the solution to the problem isn't science, it's PR and marketing. We need to sell, not prove.

      As far as all of the garbage Atlantic puts out, this one is one of the most easily provable false hoods. You can look at a graph of American wages over 30+ years and coincided how wage growth for blue collar started flattening exactly when they started dumping millions of people in

    OK, I’ve listened to this and I’m pretty familiar with immigration. I grew up in California in the Central Valley. I remember what immigration used to look like and I and I’ve seen what it become. Don’t give me wrong. I am always immigration. I am always for new blood coming into our country and the reason why is because we are able to avoid the demographic crunch that a lot of other countries are going through because they do not have a young population Continuously growing to maintain the older population that retires. Somebody has to work to pay the taxes to pay for the baby boomers and for the next generation and the one after that, we have an advantage that people want to come to the United States and they come early enough to build a life, but that is a totally different discussion. In the 1970s in the 1960s, you could see very clearly in California who the immigrants were why they were coming and you had about three different major immigration flows that took place in that time. Which the United States absorbed quite a bit of through California you had the end of the Vietnam war, which brought a large influx of Vietnamese Americans you had two major flows of immigration from Mexico and at some point in the mid 70s, the immigration flow from Mexico, detailed because an equilibrium was found what these peoples do not seem to be getting and I cannot understand why someone has not done the study on it or at least clarify That at that time the chew Mexican immigration flows came in those were all those skilled people coming to work in the fields of California that was a net positive for everyone. The other part of those two major population flows that came in through Mexico was that those people found jobs quickly And a lot of times they didn’t stay they came in. They were seasonally in the field. They made their money and they went home and next season did come back again in Vietnamese. You had a lot of skill and he has some very high skill skill continued with their education when they got here, and moved on to become professionals. The United States has never had a problem with too many doctors, but we got quite a few doctors out of the Vietnamese because the Vietnamese were better, educated and better skill. Today’s immigration is far different and I have seen the negative effects of what this immigration is like since 2000 the immigration coming into the United States of America has not been Mexican and there’s a difference the immigration that we’ve been receiving has been coming from Honduras, Venezuela, El Salvador, and other central American nations, this immigration flow is semi skilled not necessarily highly educated, but semi skilled this form of immigration is not easily locked into the ideas of competition with high school diploma educated Americans this form of immigration is actually fighting for those mid-level jobs and for those skilled and low skill jobs. I worked for a company that saw our Texas office is closed because we couldn’t compete with companies who hired these semi skilled workers and even though the quality was not as good as it should’ve been, they were so cheap they could afford to fix the problems with poor quality.. the problem you get with allowing semi skilled labor to continuously flow in is not necessarily always about taking away American jobs. It’s also about business owners making a business decision regarding profit. It just may be more profitable to hire and illegal. Who needs about two months of education by an American American illegal at half the price. It’s interesting how people would consider themselves skilled semi-skilled unskilled highly skilled when really you’re only an industry bubble away from being broke..

      Unfortunately, not all of us were financially literate early. I was 35 when I finally educated myself and started taking steps. I went from $176,000 in debt with zero savings or retirement to now, 2 years later, fully debt-free and over $1000,000 net worth. I know that doesn't SOUND like a lot, but I'm incredibly proud of it. Now I'm fast-tracking my wealth building (investing $400,000 annually) and don't owe a dime to anyone. It's a good feeling! Thanks to Erin Gambrel

      ​@@Gob-is3sy The overwhelming majority of ppl in prisons are US citizens accused or convicted of drug-related crimes or felony robberies. Talk to actual working class ppl who work in medium-security prisons (the largest type of US prisons), they'll tell you the same. And - dirty little secret- if an undocumented immigrant is a suspect in a crime, they are more likely to be deported rather than adjuticated, ask anyone who works for ICE courts. The exception is homicides, and (another dirty secret) not even the majority of those, it's only the highly publicized ones. Reason: cheaper to deport than hold a trial where conviction isn't guaranteed. It's just math. Yell all you want, but as long as employers believe immigrants are cheaper labor, we'll have them. Where's Trump on going after the employers who hire undocumented workers? Nowhere - just like Reagan and both Bushes and every Democrat. Trump or no Trump, there will be undocumented workers, bet on it.
