Sometimes you see an argument that's based on one or even two bad facts such that it poisons all the fruits that come from it. It's a bit like a math exam where you start by making an error in the formula and then go from there. Garbage in, garbage out.
That's not what I see with your comment. Instead I see regurgitation of base right-wing propaganda that's basically wrong at every step with superficial Google searches.
I'll pick a few:
1. The paper I cited looks at what happened to low, median and high percentile workers over those years. You'd know that if you looked;
2. You argue what constitutes the middle class has been devalued by immigration from Latin America. There are many ways to show this to be false. I'll pick just one: the number of people with college degrees [1]. Oh, what the hell, I'll pick a second: the rise of dual-income households [2].
3. Despite your assertions around immigration from Latin America, Asian immigrants actually outnumber Hispanics [3].
