Bernie
Sanders admits illegal, cheaper workers drive wages down for America’s middle
and working class yet continuously supports amnesty for illegals, decriminalization
of the U.S.-Mexico border, and tossing out Trump’s “Buy American, Hire
American” order.
The
senator conducted an interview with the NY Times and attempted to explain his former
statements in which he admitted that opening the United States border is
detrimental to the nation-state, as well as slammed the idea of hemispheric
open borders.
Sanders,
in the interview, agrees that “of course” illegal workers who are hired by companies
at “$5 per hour” “lowers wages” for the working class in America, who are frequently
searching for entry-level jobs.
Sanders,
later in the exchange, backs away from immigration’s wage-suppression effect on
people in America and concentrates on a $15 min. wage — implying that illegals
be legalized, as well as paid the same wage as citizens of America.
Legal
immigration levels, in which over 1 million mainly low-skilled legal immigrants,
as well as a multitude of foreign visa workers are allowed into the country
annually, have driven the quantity of foreign-born workers within the United
States to its highest level since the year 1996. That’s in addition to the
multitude of illegals who come into the country each year.
The
majority of U.S. immigrants immediately start to compete for white-collar and blue-collar
jobs against millions of people in America who seek full-time employment.
Extensive
studies by analyst Steven Camarota and economists such as George Borjas uncovers
that America’s present mass legal immigration system burdens American taxpayers
and its middle and working class while redistributing around $500B in wealth each
year to newly arrived immigrants and major employers. Similarly, studies have uncovered
how Americans’ wages get crushed by the U.S.’ high levels of immigration.
