My point about immigrants is that all immigrants aren't the same. European immigrants assimilate and valued America as a sovereign nation. The immigrants we're getting post 1965 don't assimilate and are undermining sovereignty and support globalism. If you're focused on innovation and not falling behind, I don't want to cut off immigration completely. We can let in people who are supremely talented and have genius level IQs. Immigration levels are about 1.2 million today. I want them under 100k. Elon Musk can come, genius level engineers we are lacking can come in, everyone else stay out including H1Bs.
Supply and demand is a simple economics concept. The point where wages flatline is the 70s when immigration really takes off after many decades of low immigration. I'll grant that it isn't the only factor but it's an important one. You keep mentioning blue collar wages when wages at all levels have slumped, white collar is even worse. That's how you know immigration is a factor. The college educated office/computer/ect jobs have stagnant wages too because of Asian and Indian immigration.
You can say I'm using buzzwords but the fact is the ultra wealthy are the biggest advocates of mass immigration and lobby Congress hard for more immigration. So you are on on the side of the wealthy and globalists.
I have no problem identifying with Pat Buchanan.You act like that's a negative when I'm proud to be influenced by his ideology. It's true that morals are a key piece of his platform but so is American identity and sovereignty. The thing about people like you is that you've accepted the globalist propaganda that diversity is this wonderful amazing thing and it overrides any anti-globalist leanings you might have, so you are completely useless in fighting the globalists moving forward.
I'm curious as to how the immigrants of today are undermining American sovereignty. Like I just don't think you have a real case there. Furthermore cutting out immigrant cheap labor means companies will just move to Mexico or another country where they can pay people pennies. Your ideas don't solve any of the real problems.
I don't need a lesson in supply and demand. I already told you that the numbers you are using don't add up. As far as I can tell immigrants from the 1960s aren't even on the books. I can do more research in this area, but it seems like the simplest answer is the right one. Wages are stagnant because companies racing to the top are getting squeezed by inflation. Plus the workforce hasn't evolved with the advancing technology.
This issue isn't black and white. Like it doesn't make me a globalist to state how I disagree with Nationalism. You seem to want to stop people from entering America, but have no qualms when companies leave. Immigration or not, companies are already leaving America. They find much cheaper labor anywhere else, and if that doesn't blow up your supply and demand argument I don't know what will.
It was stated that I agree with Pat Buchanan to some extent. And you don't know any people like me. So don't try to act like you know what goes through my head. My favoring diversity has nothing to do with globalist propaganda, it has to do with reality. We live in a diverse country and rejecting that only exposes yourself. You and every other "culture" warrior don't care about the economy, morality or sovereignty. You just want to make America white again.
P.S if a fight is going to go down. Trust me, you want me on your side.
