All immigration serves to drive overall wages down.
- mildbow 10y agoNo basic income serves to drive overall wages down.
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoI agree with that, but not sure how it refutes the point I was making.
- davidf18 10y agoBut most immigrants from Mexico do not drive down IT workers wages. But abuse and increase of H1-B Visas does down IT worker wages.
- ConfuciusSay02 10y agoYou can argue it does indirectly. If blue collar job wages are driven very low, more people will choose STEM careers, which will also serve to drive IT job wages down.
- sameAsYou 10y agoso, as long as it is not in IT industry, it is okay to drive the wages down ?
- davidf18 10y agoI was simply replying in the context of the article which is regarding abuse of H1-B visas and a fix. Actually it applies to the larger category of all of STEM, not only IT. I don't think it is right to drive anyone's wages down through immigration whether working class or STEM.
