   Bringing in lower skilled folks doe's indeed have a adverse effect on low skilled workers wages. But then, in your system, Self-supporting immigrants will most definitely have a depressive effect on low skilled wages. I suspect you know this. If so then you complaint against low wages is mere cover for what really bugs your arse.  The world isn't as it was 30-40 years ago. Things have changed. You don't like that. You think immigrants made change happen. And your are very very wrong.

The problem with people who think of themselves as progressives, is they often find it impossible to discuss anything in a logical, rational manner. They need to work a righteous condemnation in of the person they're arguing with, after all. And if they didn't say anything the progressive can actually disagree with - as in yes bringing in lots of low skill workers depresses wages - well then, simply come up with the 'hidden agenda' which actually motivates the person you're arguing with. There you go! Now you can work up that self-righteousness into a level where you can stroke your own ego by showing how much better you are as a person!

So, never mind the actual argument. Instead focus on reading between the lines to discern my nefarious evil motives instead! Straw men burn so well, after all.

Here's a clue, junior. I don't have any need to cover up my motivations. I say what I mean, so stop trying to figure out what my secret motivation is because I don''t have any.
