They're getting real bold with it.
At least The Freedom Crackers had a "cause"(1st Black President ) this is what we get wit Biden in now??
So "post-1965 immigrants" is the new dog whistle for "immigrants but not us white ones" now.Moreover, we cannot ignore the impact that mass immigration has on reducing job opportunities and depreciating wages for Americans. Further restricting immigration would ensure that American jobs go to American workers. The econometric evidence and consensus amongst labor economists is that in addition to being a substantial net drain on the public purse, post-1965 immigrants decrease the capital-to-labor ratio within the national economy, thereby causing a massive shift in the gains of the economy from wage earners to the shareholders and owners of large firms.
An important distinction between post-1965 immigrants and previous waves of settlers is that previous cohorts were more educated, earned higher wages, and did not have an expansive welfare state to fall back on when they could not make it in America and thus did not stay in the country at the expense of the native-born. Another important point of note is the many pauses in immigration that have taken place in this country following a large intake of immigrants. These pauses have been absolutely essential in assimilating the new arrivals and weeding out those who could not or refused to abandon their old loyalties and plunge head-first into mainstream American society
So "post-1965 immigrants" is the new dog whistle for "immigrants but not us white ones" now.
This whole statement is such bullshyt. Previous immigrants weren't more educated and they didn't earn higher wages, they were mostly illiterate and were working factory jobs earning slave wages. They just pulled this shyt straight out of their asses, there's no basis for these claims at all.
And the "pauses" they talk about were purely racist, they're trying to reframe the Chinese Exclusion Act as a good thing.
