3. It should be obvious from the fact that if increasing population were bad
for workers, then America would be much worse for workers with a populaion of 300,000,000 than it was decades ago with a population of 10,000,000.

Any time you add a person to the population, whether an immigrant or America born, so long as that person can work and be productive, it's going to be a long time before that person isn't making a positive contribution for himself as well as for his neighbors.

The real things hurting working people have nothing to do with immigration and everything to do with the afwul policies Republicans persue, like destroying public education and healthcare, destoying unions, and driving down wages by increasing misery for every working person.
