Immigration up, household incomes down…how is that so great for the economy?

As reported by The Daily Caller on Thursday:

“Since 1970, the foreign-born population of the U.S. increased 325 percent, the Congressional Research Service found, while wages for the bottom 90 percent of earners decreased by 8% and their share of income (decreased) by 16%.”

Yet we hear one Democrat politician after another claim illegal immigration is good for the economy…a sentiment parroted (of course) by their media lapdogs legion.

So, logic dictates they’re speaking as being part of the top 10% of wage earners, qualified as earning over $114,000 per year.

Under a $114k threshold? Your wages dropped 8%, income share dropped 16%.

That’s why the bottom 90% aren’t cheering for illegal immigration any time soon.
