This simplified notion of "Supply and demand" does not work with immigration and labor.
The obvious solution to your problem of lower wages would be to legalize illegal immigrants to give them equal rights and empower them to seek higher wages.
- coldtea 10y agoThis wouldn't work either, because the majority of immigrants will still be unskilled, not speaking the language well etc, starting as dirt poor and having to work hand to mouth, and thus unable to "seek higher wages" for other reasons too aside from their illegal status.
- heurist 10y agoIn that case they'd have to go back to their home countries to find work.
