From the Unz article:
“Making the crucial distinction between being ‘pro-immigrant’ and ‘pro-immigration,’ Unz writes that immigration levels ‘should be sharply reduced, probably by 50% or more.’ Regarding illegal immigration, he proposes a large increase in the minimum wage to draw Americans into low-skilled jobs, based on the proposition that ‘Minimum wage laws are far easier to enforce than immigration laws.'”
Agreed.
I’m not sure that’s true, and I’d prefer allowing wages at the bottom to rise organically by keeping out foreign labor through enforcement of immigration laws.”
Oh honey.

The police shootings study used simulators. I’m not sure that’s a valid comparison to real police situations. And I was hoping it was true, so I don’t have an axe to grind on this.
