  1. Talking about depressing wages. In the UK, after Brexit, wages for blue collar workers in the UK are up substantially. A while ago, I read that one of the states bordering Mexico, which had stemmed illegal immigration, had experienced a surge in worker income, while having a somewhat lower GDP. GDP is not the measure of success we need to worry about. It is personal income. The sooner we understand that, the better. Stopping immigration, either legal or illegal, puts up the wages for the citizen population. If the workers in these countries cannot see this an still vote for left or center left parties that support immigration, then they are stupid and deserve what they get. The educated, and skilled, will continue to do well. It is as simple as that. Uncontrolled immigration is only useful to business owners and the 1%. Again, if the workers do not understand this, then they are rubes (a mild form of what I wanted to say). In the US, the Democratic Party has become the party of the 1%. If workers cannot see this, then they will continue to suffer. We don't need more workers from outside. Technology, a major strength of the US, will make us stronger. Not importing unskilled workers, who drive down wages.
