IN THE ATLANTIC: HEY, IMMIGRATION MIGHT CONTRIBUTE TO INEQUALITY. The Hard Truth About Immigration: If the United States wants to reduce inequality, it’s going to need to take an honest look at a contentious issue. “The critics’ predictions—that annual immigration might soon triple, as one conservative congressman forecast, and eventually surpass 1 million, as another anticipated, ended up being more accurate.”

I guarantee, the people in today’s ruling class have zero interest in reducing inequality. “The second big question about immigration is how it has affected the living standards of people who were already in the United States. On the surface, the facts look damning. . . . Logic and history point to the same conclusion as the economic data. That is why CEOs long favored high levels of immigrants and labor leaders such as A. Philip Randolph and Samuel Gompers long opposed them.”
