Decline in Illegal Immigration Increases Wages, Study Says

March 5, 2018 / US Immigration / By US-Immigration.com

A new report from the Center for Migration Studies (CMS) shows that immigration fell eight percent between 2010 and 2016, falling to 10.8 million from 11.7 million and hitting its lowest level for 15 years. The conclusion reached by CMS is shared in a similar study by the Pew Research Center, with a minimum of ten percent declines in six of the main states where undocumented immigrants often live, Illinois, California, Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia, and New York.

According to Robert Warren, a senior visiting fellow at the Center for Migration Studies, one of the reasons for the fall in immigration is that immigrants are returning to their home countries in greater numbers. Around 200,000 immigrants chose to leave the US in 1990, but the most recent data shows that the annual number is now between 500,000 and 600,000.

Warren says the idea that undocumented immigrants never choose to leave the US of their own accord, a long-held belief by some, is false, and that as many as one-in-three choose to work in the country for several years before returning home.

The decline in immigration also appears to have coincided with an increase in the pay-scale for Americans, particularly minorities, who are electing to re-enter the workforce. Employee compensation is at a 30-year high, according to the monthly jobs report by the National Federation of Independent Businesses. Both President Bill Clinton and President Barack Obama acknowledged the link between decreased competition for low-skilled jobs and higher wages.

And illegal alien proponents say that illegals don't lower wages for Americans because they only take jobs that Americans won't do. Hmmm, I guess that's a big fat lie. And NO, it's not only low wage jobs, which by the way, a lot of Americans out or work would love to have, but they also compete for and lower wages for ALL the skilled trades, jobs that Americans have counted on for decades to support their families, which now Americans are competing against illegal aliens for, and lowering wages in these trades. It outrageous. Get these people the hell out of here NOW!

And I know this first hand, because I'm one of the millions of Americans in the trades that has been severely effected by this. So no one (politician) can lie to me and tell me it's not true.
