William the Bloody, moar liek William Bloody Ignorant of Basic Macroeconomics, amirite? Just gotta point a few things out:
(1) No one cares if this is a "record number of immigrants" in the USA, because what's statistically relevant is immigrants as a percentage of the population. We are still several points lower than the peak in the 19th century.
(2) "Unskilled" immigrants do not exert downward pressure on native born "unskilled" workers wages. The consensus among economists on the issue is so ****ing great it approaches "the gold standard is ****tarded" area. I mean, **** do you even marginal propensity to save?
(3) "Bernie Sanders & Donald Trump agree on something, therefor it's true,".....is not a valid argument. Ever. Ever ever ever ever ever ever
(4) Free Trade Agreements do not exert downward wages on working class wages (as a whole) and do not lead to declines in union membership.
