I could point out that my local area is full of immigrants. As a person of western European descent, I’m a minority in my city. The surrounding cities are also chock full of immigrants as well, from all sorts of different places.
In my highly unscientific survey of local signs in the windows, starting wages for unskilled labor seem to be around $17 an hour. And that’s what my son is getting at his new job with a large, easily recognizable JC.
So I’m right with you. A healthy flow of immigrants does a lot for our local economy.
