Original article: Do you know the way to San Antonio?

the wat to San Antonio

The way to San Antonio is paved with low wages. That is the crux of the argument: does unrestrained immigration dampen the wage rate? San Antonio proves that it does. Sure, some people make $40,000 a year driving tractor-trailers; but if those same jobs pay $60,000 a year in a non-immigrant rich city than the argument is made that immigration dampens the wage rate. San Antonio is booming with low-wage jobs. Is this a boon to anyone but illegal immigrants or those that profit from cheap labor? I know I'm not rushing to San Antonio to take one of these low-wage jobs.
