I know hundreds of immigrants here less than three years who know English, History, and Political Science better than windshit ever will.
I haven't personally lived the life of an immigrant; however, for the last 21 years I've live in one of the largest immigrant communities in California.Who here has lived it? For the purposes of discussion, let's stipulate "immigration" as moving to a country other than the one of your birth for at least a year. It might be interesting to see who has personal experience to inform some of their attitudes and/or assumptions here.

My personal experience has been most of my neighbors contribute more productively to the US economy than I have, and recently I found some unexpected support for my belief:
"Great libertarian thinkers such as Milton Friedman and Ludwig von Mises believed that the free movement of people (labor) across borders is desirable in the same way that the free trade of goods and capital is desirable.
"Both labor and capital should not be hindered from relocating to areas in which they can be most productively used. As Mises wrote in his influential book Liberalism, 'There cannot be the slightest doubt that migration barriers diminish the productivity of human labor.'
"To illustrate this point, consider the differences in productivity between the United States and Mexico.
"The United States is much more productive than Mexico and, consequently, has five times more income per person.
"It's not just that the United States has better educated or more skilled workers, although it does. Rather, the capital, institutions, and infrastructure makes the same workers much more productive simply by being in a different place.

My knee-jerk explanation for why wage growth has remained flat lately has to do with how the profits from productivity gains have gone largely to one percent of "workers."I haven't personally lived the life of an immigrant; however, for the last 21 years I've live in one of the largest immigrant communities in California.Who here has lived it?

And yet our Lower and Middle classes, who are mostly in competition with immigrants, have had flat wage growth for decades during this time of high immigration.
Strange.
