Is there a law saying that black people can’t get a job? Yes. It’s called minimum wage.
You know what Brad, we also have laws against chinese and latino from getting american job. It’s called immigration laws.
What next? Yea we also have laws against living very long life. It’s called obamacare. Once you live too long, the death panel will decide that you should die and your money will be better used to save the life of some gang kids that beat you up instead.
Imagine if it’s not a job. Imagine if it’s a welfare. So government says, anyone that stand idly in Madison square will be paid $5 per hour. There is no productivity. Government is just insane giving money away. Will immigrants coming reduce that welfare pie? Yes.
Many jobs are essentially welfare. The salary does not justify the productivity.
I think immigration will reduce job but mainly only if the job itself is essentially implicit welfare.
Many jobs are not real job with normal salary. Minimum wage, for example, inflate salary for some job. Some jobs are created by stimulus. So those jobs are limited. More people taking that job means there goes the job.
