- woodchuck64 10y agoThat's factually wrong. Documented workers’ wages rise with increases in the share of undocumented workers in a worker’s county and employed by their employers. Why? The law of comparative advantage says we get more productive when we have more trading partners, and the arrival of undocumented workers with limited English skills frees up low-skill American workers who can then specialize in tasks that require better English. http://www.forbes.com/sites/artcarden/2015/08/28/how-do-illegal-immigrants-affect-american-workers-the-answer-might-surprise-you http://www.forbes.com/sites/artcarden/2015/08/28/how-do-ille...

- anonasdfgz 10y agoHe didn't criticize him for his heritage. He said being mexican makes him biased on certain topics. Stop pretending tribal solidarity doesn't exist.
