| America's economic elite agrees that immigrant-driven wage
| suppression, thanks in part to Biden's policies, has ameliorated
| inflation. Federal Reserve Chairman Powell in 2022 attributed
| inflation in part to lower numbers of immigrants. The chief
| political economist of Goldman Sachs, Alec Phillips, recently
| declared that "the labor market has started to loosen up," reducing
| the ability of workers to bid up wages: "And there's clearly been a
| disproportionate contribution from immigrants." Although immigrants
| are only 18% of the workforce, three-quarters of the increase in the
| labor supply over the last two years has consisted of immigrant
| workers. The impact of wage-suppressing immigration falls chiefly on
| Americans, both native and immigrant, who work in low-wage, labor-
| intensive industries like construction, agriculture, retail, and
| hospitality. According to America's bipartisan economic elite, low-
| wage American workers need to take one for the team by having
| immigration undermine their power to get raises, so that other
| Americans, most notably those with large disposable incomes, can
| enjoy lower prices for goods and services.
Does Casey DeSantis lament that Ron could have outflanked Trump from
the right on the National Question by obtaining a grant from the likes
of Miriam Adelson, Robert Bigelow, Walter Buckley, Betsy DeVos, Ken
Griffin, Julia Koch, Bernie Marcus, Lachlan Murdoch, Thomas Peterffy,
Bruce Rauner, Chris Reyes, David Sacks and Steve Wynn to run ads in
Iowa on Lachlan Murdoch's FoxNews.COM with the likes of Mike Emmons
warning legacy American proles that Trump will sign bipartisan
comprehensive immigration reform legislation passed by the likes of
Mike Johnson and Mitch McConnell so long as the Cheap Labor Lobby
authors include the magic words: "merit-based"?
