RW, > I think the answer is obvious... they want a roof over their heads and food on the table. And it's a 'buyers market' for labor; much more supply than demand.

Yep, that's all true, but most of that was true even when unemployment was down to 5% several years back.

I'm not saying this because I think we should all tolerate lower living standards to compete against, for example, Mexico. I'm just bringing up the stratification between immigrant and native-born workers, which the study highlighted IMO. And our economy has accommodated this stratification, for better or for worse.
