Do you believe that illegal immigrants have the same income distribution as the general population in the US?
- icebraining 9y agoNo. Can you clarify the connection?
- Consultant32452 9y agoIf you dump a bunch of people into the low end of income pool it's going to move the distribution curve.
- icebraining 9y agoAnd yet, despite massive immigration (from low income countries) for centuries, the US is one of the countries with highest salaries.
- Consultant32452 9y agoSure, once the people here today have had a century of assimilation I suspect they will not impact the income distribution curve. If you were happy with the income equality from a century ago, I'm willing to adopt the welfare and tax systems of that time so all the incentives are the same.
