Noticed a complete demographic change in entry level service sector jobs here at least. The folks stocking your shelves went from aging ornery white people to young ESLs / no hablos despite being thousands of miles from the southern border
And to this I say: Good. If we get a bunch of hard working folks from around the world to assimilate into American culture and build towards their own American dream, why is this a bad thing?
Its what legal immigration should look like.
If you have a bunch of exploited seasonal workers who send money back home, or if you get a bunch of illegal aliens who are live in enclaves and live off social welfare and commit crime, that's when you've got a problem. And we've had waves of immigration with that before, but its not been the story of this wave
I believe Milton Friedman already said that immigration pays off as long as it’s illegal. Otherwise you have to provide them with all social benefits etc..
