US population growth 2019: 0.5%. Considering that, and how low unemployment was pre-covid, and it's hard to imagine immigrants "crowding out" citizens for work.top of th search... does not take much effort.

Redistributing ownership of productive assets is the best way to reduce inequality.
We have massive government programs compared to what? Not as a percentage of spending. Not as a percentage of the economy. Not per capita.
Immigration in no way addresses racial economic issues. We need more immigrants, not less.
There once was some very thriving black communities and there are some now but that does not address the larger minority populations not in those communities.
Government programs are certainly part of the solution but the law and representation in government is where true progress will be made.
We were at full employment when Trump was elected on an anti immigration platform.
The problem the right has with immigration is that immigrants now are more brown than white. But why aren’t Europeans immigrating to America anymore, it’s because of conservatism. Europe and Canada now have better upward mobility than United States. Why is that, it’s because conservative policies kill upward mobility.
I thought 8 years of Obama was going to fix all that? Doesn't seem like a conservative problem to me.
Was it 8 years of Obama?
How many of those years did another party control the House and Senate?
How many of those years did Congress not do anything about it (they pass the laws in case your social studies teacher was sick)?
How does a President come in for 2-3 years and magically wave a wand and fix social issues going on for 40-60 years?
How did trump have 100% control over the government and only pass a tax break for the wealthy and nothing else
I swear the social studies curriculum in this country is shit.
1. a. You are in complete denial if you do not think a million immigrants a year costs those already here jobs and wage increases.
if we were not bringing in more labor... every ones wages and job opportunities could be improving if we held everything else the same.
so more labor hurts all lower wage workers... regardless of race.
It even hurts middle class type jobs...
B. Look at construction worker pay over the last generation or 2.
and higher end jobs...
c. Ask engineers at tech companies who get replaced with much cheaper grads from overseas.
Massive problem with Silicon valley companies.
2. I am not against immigration... I am against taking in more immigrants until we have jobs for all the people already here.
And I am against the concept that anything but bad govt policy is responsible for the crisis we have at the lower end of the economic scale.
2. We were not even close to full employment unless you using rigged definitions and statistics and count part time jobs and McJobs....
Be that as it may...unemployment continued to drop under Trump until the pandemic.

well actually the years during the time Obama was president actually saw a decrease in poverty, expanded education and employment. We benefited by lower crime and steady economic growth.
conservative policies ultimately lead to economic crashes and minority disenfranchisement.
