TOM EARP. GO BACK TO COLLEGE AND TAKE A LABOR MARKETS CLASS.
I will make this as simple as possible for you.
There is a job open in Kansas City, a metropolitan area with which you are familiar. The job is to sort though the garbage at a landfill with your toothbrush until you find all the used tampons, which you will place in a bin. The job title is TAMPON SELECTOR.
KC has been advertising for a TAMPON SELECTOR for over six months. No current KC residents will take this job.
An illegal immigrant from Canada takes this job of TAMPON SELECTOR.
Please explain to me how the Canadian TAMPON SELECTORis taking money that should be going to Americans. The job of TAMPON SELECTOR was unfilled by Americans because their reservation wage - the price at which they are willing to take a job - is higher than the wage being paid for TAMPON SELECTORS.
You can't say they are doing work nobody will do and then say they are taking dollars away from Americans. You're being contradictory.
