      If they're illegal, all of them, since they risk deportation whenever they report? For example, stories like this are almost *always* about immigration as well as unsafe working conditions.https://forward.com/news/1006/in-iowa-meat-plant-kosher-e2-80-98jungle-e2-80-99-breeds-fea/ …

      You think legal immigrants are as likely as American citizens to sue their employers, organize, or go talk to the press?

      The impacts of unjust dismissal (making it extremely hard to fire workers) alone pushes employers overseas and probably also pushes them to hire non-citizens. https://economics.mit.edu/files/11572

      I'm not contending that employers are irrational. IN any case, I think you should read that paper in the context of Autor's other work on foreign outsourcing (https://seii.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Autor-Dorn-Hanson-The-China-Syndrome-Local-Labor-Market-Effects-of-Import-Competition-in-the-United-States-American-Economic-Revi.pdf …)

      It's not just rural areas that have lost employers- it's mostly former industrial cities. Immigration is in my mind *clearly* one of a host of confluent factors that have combined to reduce wages of those without college degrees and disrupt communities.https://spottedtoad.wordpress.com/2017/02/21/they-all-did/ …

      Also, looking forward a) automation will reduce the demand for low-skilled work further, b) next generation leaving school already largely from low-income families, non-white, with low median academic skills,c) immigration pressures are going to increase over the next few decades

      do you really believe an across-the-board substitution for unskilled labor is possible? previous waves of industrialization replaced up to 95% of the workforce but there was plenty of unskilled labor left

      if anything i suspect the next wave of computerized automation will replace skilled labor (eg most MDs will be easily replaced by algorithms)

          You don't understand how little economics you know if you think the lump of labor argument implies labor supply and capital supply do not affect wages vs capital income this isn't some sophisticated or difficult idea, it's the first week of micro i'm sorry

          Shane, Dogma, and Matty G: Read some of the articles on the pro-American labor @EconomicPolicy website. You'll find cogent rebuttals there, that support much of what Toad and Lacrimas said. Lacrimas is correct especially re lump of labor fallacy.
