That chart was a good chart. Biden’s immigration surge is making sure it doesn’t happen again, though. And our lowest-wage workers had a lot more catching up to do … https://t.co/vhaQKCnEnt

In other words, things aren’t *that* bad that native-born Not In Labor Force/Unemployed actually increased during a recovery. Sure are a lot of “Retired,” though. You wonder if that is entirely due to aging and entirely a good thing.

Rufo’s Boeing insider very on-point with the big think. Maybe a little too on point! Talks like an executive, or a persuasive management guru, not a guy building the planes.

And of course when the economy turns down again, as it will, the new immigrant workers will still be around, increasing competition for jobs–and less educated, skilled natives will be out of luck. Long term screwing of those people will continue. But yay, we beat the G7 on GDP! https://t.co/etMpQ5weY0

The immigrant surge has denied the lowest paid American workers the expected full benefits (eg higher wages, better income position relative to affluent, jobs for marginal workers like ex-cons) of a tight labor market. https://t.co/VDphlUWIrh

Yes, I misread that Rattner chart. Will take down that tweet. Thanks for pointing out. Krugman’s chart (showing virtually all net new jobs going foreign born) is echoed in Rattner chart, however. https://t.co/VWCSVMkkwt

The very on-point @SteveRattner chart is even worse than that Krugman chart. As immigrant workers gained jobs, native born became unemployed or fell out of the labor force. Yikes. (Those who retired are in another category.) https://t.co/dhjYVOaFFw

Yes. 1) A huge (millions) unkown number of migrants stream across the Southern border or are just ushered in via “parole.” They’re looking for work!; 2) Total employment in US “unexpectedly” increases.
I don’t understand why this is mysterious. https://t.co/M57RGZNfDl

Excellent, level-headed column. But I’m skeptical that illegals have “been coming in numbers much larger than surely the Biden policymakers expected.” I think Mayorkas knew exactly what would probably happen. (Maybe Biden didn’t quite grok it) https://t.co/7FBI5XRbFC
