Trump’s Immigration Enforcement Delivers Real Wage Gains for American Workers

Like the police unions, yeah they suck the MAGAT masters.

Errr, you don't live in a dem city do you? The unions are part of the dem machine. They are... bitches of the far left.

MOONGLOW, if the wage gains are real, is this not a good thing for American workers?

Then why did unions vote fer Trump?
 
Lots of illegals. Many work for turd world wages, thus they need mucho social services.

This is a simple point. That you managed to be confused on it, is dumb.
I never said I said or believed, I said this is what you morons were saying.
 
Not as long as union organizers tend to kowtow to the far left.
Perhaps if the gop stood in their corner that would change. Support workers dont criticize their organizing.
 
Then why did unions vote fer Trump?


What do you mean "unions vote for Trump"?

Unions don't vote. Union MEMBERS vote. The rank and file vote, in secret ballots.


The union leadership are bitches of the far left.

Don't play retard.

You presented it as though there was a conflict between the two statements.


I addressed your point, by describing how BOTH points can be true and they do NOT contradict each other.


Would you like to stop playing silly games and admit that?

Police unions supported Trump, not Kamala...

Sep 25, 2024 — Donald Trump claimed broad support from police and rank-and-file of the Teamsters Union, claims that deserve a second look.
 
Outside of Breitbart, there's this thing called economic reports.

What does it say about wages?
 
You do know automation exists, right

If we require more people than we can make them ourselves stop making so expensive to have a family. We can do that by reducing housing cost by not importing 2 million people into the country every year.

And if that means CEOs have to take a hit and they could only water ski behind two yachts as opposed to seven so be it.
Trump gonna have the handled in a couple of months or is their going to be another big, sale of family farms to big agra? I heard him saying yesterday, if we needed tech workers to teach us how, we could do that. I guess, needing farm workers, so we get to eat is different, and it's just farmers, right?
 
Again, machines exist.
No making them here, much. I guess if the farmers can pay the tariffs, they can keep their farms, alright. I bet they sure are glad they voted for Donnie.:D:auiqs.jpg:

Homan just raided the Hyundai plant in Georgia and rounded up almost 500 illegal workers who according to reports were underpaid and overworked

That means 500 new jobs for American workers at higher wages

And there are plenty more jobs where they came from across America
It is nice, they are being released to their home country, and not sent to some foreign hellhole, without even being prosecuted.
 
White 6 misses the good old days of illegal slave labor with slightly lower prices in the supermarket
I don't remember any. I do remember truck loads of black cotton pickers, coming into my uncles's crossroad country store for baloney sandwiches, moon pies and RC Cocola, back when I was a little kid, visiting the deep south, in the days before diesel cotton pickers. Early machines did a crumby job, and most farmers, had the field hands to the second picking, back in the days when cotton was king, in the mid-south.
 
Actually Trump fired the lady who was the head of BLM, named Erica, because her numbers were so bad. But the numbers were bad because they were sooooo wrong. The initial numbers showed million of jobs created, giving the Fed reason to hold interest rates steady, but then revised the numbers to show job losses or small gains, showing that the Fed is late cutting rates.

Nope. Get it right. He fired her as the numbers were low and he didn't believe them. Only, it turned out the adjusted numbers by the new guy were even worse. Looks like it will be hard to get around reality, just by firing the bearer of bad news.
 
What really matters, not what some out-of-the-loop McCain-ite "economist" says.

Delivering for Americans.



The early economic returns on President Trump’s immigration enforcement are unambiguous: American workers are winning. After decades of being told that mass immigration was an economic necessity, the data from Trump’s first eight months in office tell a different story—one where reducing foreign worker competition translates directly into higher wages and improved living standards for native-born Americans.​
The numbers are stark and revealing. The foreign-born workforce has contracted by nearly one million workers since January, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics data released Friday. This represents a complete reversal of the 2024 trend, when foreign-born workers provided essentially all U.S. job growth, adding over 2 million positions to their ranks.​
What happened when that foreign worker flood was turned off? Exactly what basic economic theory predicts: wages rose, and rose meaningfully.​

The Labor Economics of Immigration Enforcement​


Average hourly earnings have jumped 1.8 percent from January to August, an annualized growth rate of 3.1 percent. But the real story lies with production and non-supervisory workers—the 80 percent of the workforce most likely to compete directly with foreign-born labor. Their wages have risen 2.0 percent over seven months, annualizing to 3.4 percent growth.​
These aren’t just nominal gains being eaten away by inflation. With consumer prices rising only 1.2 percent over the same period, American workers have seen genuine purchasing power increases. Production workers alone have gained nearly 0.8 percentage points in real wage growth—meaning their paychecks buy more goods and services than they did at the start of the year.​
The August employment report underscores this trend. Despite weaker than expected jobs growth, production workers saw monthly wage growth of 0.4 percent, which annualizes to a robust 4.7 percent. This acceleration coincides precisely with the tightening labor market created by immigration enforcement.
This is not mysterious. It’s just Econ 101. Reduce the supply of workers, and the price of labor (wages) is likely to rise. For decades, immigration advocates have obscured this basic relationship with complex theories about complementary skills and job creation. That’s even more true when employers are forced to hire natives and permanent residents who cannot be partially compensated with U.S. residency because they already have the right to live here. The Trump administration’s natural experiment in immigration restriction has cut through the academic fog with real-world results.​

Productivity Gains Trump Immigration Dependency​


Critics warned that reducing foreign worker flows would crater economic growth. Instead, American businesses are responding exactly as economic theory suggests: by becoming more productive rather than simply hiring more bodies.​
Labor productivity surged 3.3 percent in the second quarter, suggesting that companies faced with tighter labor markets are investing in efficiency improvements, technology, and higher-skilled processes. Rather than relying on an endless supply of low-wage foreign workers, businesses are being forced to compete for American workers—and that competition drives both wages and productivity higher.​

Couldn't have anything to do with all those places that are raising their minimum wage, could it?
