CRS Report: Wages Declined As Immigration Surged Rachel Stoltzfoos Wages and share of income for the bottom 90 percent of American wage-earners declined over the past 40 years, as the foreign-born population increased dramatically, data requested by the Senate Judiciary Committee shows. Since 1970, the foreign-born population of the U.S. increased 325 percent, the Congressional Research Service found , while wages for the bottom 90 percent of earners decreased by 8 percent and their share of income by 16 percent.

The CRS charted the correlation between wages and the number of foreign-born workers in the U.S. between 1945 and 2010. Before 1970, wages rose sharply as the number of foreign-born persons declined. But after 1970, that population increased dramatically as wages stagnated, increased slightly and then dropped. Source: Congressional Research Service Report From 1945 to 1970 wages for the bottom 90 percent of earners increased by 82.5 percent, and their share of income rose slightly, while the foreign-born population in the U.S. fell by 11.2 percent to 9.7 million. ......... http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/23/crs-report-wages-declined-as-immigration-surged/ Supply and demand.
