| Another criticism is that even if immigrants do not take jobs away
| from native-born Americans, by expanding the labor pool, they can
| drive down wages in certain fields.
|
| Partridge, the Ohio State professor, said economists still debate
| the size of this effect, though most agree it is small. He believes
| that low-wage workers are most affected, but "it's not a massive
| effect." On the other hand, he said immigrants often come up with
| innovations or insights that help firms expand into markets abroad
| -- boosting wages for high-skill workers.
Will Donald Trump nominate Eugene Scalia to succeed Julie Su at
DoL.GOV and what does Amy Swonger believe it will cost to get John
Thune to consent?

"CNN's town hall with Trump previews what's in store if the
mainstream media maintains its monopoly on the debates. Instead of
discussing policy, CNN focused on gotcha questions surrounding
Trump's personal life, legal troubles, and January 6. Expect a
mainstream media-hosted debate to spend more time demanding
candidates disavow this or that trivial controversy than discussing
how to solve the border crisis. Every candidate, not just Trump,
will have to give his thoughts on E. Jean Carroll and Stormy
Daniels. Every Trump barb the media finds offensive will become a
debate question. There will be no substance at all. It will be just
a two-hour-long trap to get Republicans to sling mud at Trump and
each other. " - Paul Bradford <URL:
