Why is this downvoted? Insofar as I understand economics, it’s a factual reality. The middle class and up are benefitting from immigration driving down the price of food and services in this country. If you’re a low-wage-earning-potential male, given our levels of inequality, why would you want to be a wage slave if you don’t have to? You aren’t going to significantly improve your lot in life by throwing 40+ hours a week at a job that barely pays the bills. It makes you feel like a loser doing the work, and you don’t get to bury that feeling in anything, as you spend all your money just getting by.
