I think you have your directions mixed up.

And I’m done with this thread.

That’s how the labor market has always worked, why do you protest when it is finally benefiting low skilled and middle class workers?

This highlights the hypocrisy of the left, the lower classes should only be helped by Govt programs, not the natural labor market.

Who is the so called “left” that is making this claim?
 
Steven Camarota of the Center for Immigration Studies:

40 million people 18-65 out of work and available

need only training

I agree, but what is the turning point?
To say thay there is one is trivial. What is the optimal tax rate, and how do you determine it.

That’s a hard question because you will never get unanimous agreement about that that rate should be. But when you see noticeable net emigration of millionaires out of states like California, Illinois and New Jersey, you can be sure the rate is too high in those three states relative to their peers. The states surrounding Illinois are all getting emigrants from there and they have their own various tax policies. That might be worth studying.

We used to see nearly confiscatory tax rates in the UK back in the late 60’s until Thatcher came to power. That’s the period when you saw some of the biggest English musicians migrate to the US to get away from those tax rates.

I don’t have any clean and neat answers to your question, but it’s worth comparing jurisdictions to each other for how they treat their mid to high net worth taxpayers.

This is why the Fed Tax Cut was so important. It changed us from repulsing to attracting.

Wait–How Many Immigrants Are On Welfare Again?

spoiler: it's a lot.

For the Trump White House, it’s been their stated position to shift our immigration policy toward allowing more high-skilled workers into this country.

As for the families of the low-skilled working immigration population in the country, 51 percent (76 percent counting immigrant-led households with children) are collecting some sort of check from our welfare services. Is that good? No. Does that mean we shut it all down? No. That figure comes from the Center for Immigration Studies, who noted the need for the immigration process to be more “selective.” At the same time, there are a lot of American households with children that are also getting some form of government assistance (via USA Today):
