[Breitbart] The editors of the Washington Post are finally admitting that high levels of legal immigration drive down wages for American workers, as President Donald Trump has asserted.In an editorial by the Washington Post, the argument that immigration patriots and President Trump have made for some time now that current legal immigration levels ‐ where the U.S. takes in more than one million immigrants in a year ‐ is confirmed by the WaPo editors at the very bottom of the piece.
While fresh immigrants do depress wages for some low-skill and minority workers, as Mr. Trump argued, they act as rocket fuel for the overall economy. By cutting their numbers, Mr. Trump would undercut the nation’s prospects.
Still, the admission that American workers are hurt by current legal immigration levels, the undercutting of U.S. wages for blue-collar workers is not enough for the WaPo editors to oppose mass immigration.
