MASS IMMIGRATION SHRINKS PAYCHECKS, BLOWS UP INEQUALITY
When millions of unskilled workers flood in, the first ones crushed are the people already doing the hardest jobs.
Thatโs not politics โ itโs math.
In the late 1800s, wages for unskilled workers in countries like the U.S. fell by half.
Inequality exploded as cheap labor poured in, making life even harder for those at the bottom.
Mass migration became a reverse conquest โ poor countries sending people, not armies, to live off the wealth others built.
โฆbut someone has to pay the bill โ and it wonโt ever be the elites.
