Holy Smokes! Today's Employment report from bls.gov: TWO-THIRDS of US jobs created this year went to persons born abroad

No I posted this year’s and focused on this years because that is news.

The prior president (whom I don’t like btw) also felt thsiwas a problem and tried quitepubicly to close the border and build a wall.
(You recall the wall thing, don’t you?)

D’s, especially mayors, all across the country also feel the southern border is a problem although their solution is more about politicizing it into some sort of NIMBYism or “We need to give them welfare! Send me money so I can give them welfare!” etc…

My main point, and I was hoping that the thread would be adult enough that we could eventually get there, is that the Southern border and our policies having a very very serious detrimental effect on the economy, jobs and wages across the entire economy.,

Wages not rising with inflation? Guess why.
Lowest quintile growing so quickly that (statistically) "the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer? Guess why.
Etc.
