\"work-384745_640\"<\/a>MUST READ: \u201cDoes Immigration Harm Working Americans?\u201d David Frum has published a refreshing article<\/a> in the January edition of The Atlantic<\/i> that takes a frank look at why American native-born labor force participation is plummeting. What\u2019s surprising here isn\u2019t that Frum is able to show how and why the mass-immigration<\/a> propagandists for Wall Street are wrong, it\u2019s that an article of this nature can appear at all anymore in a mainstream publication. Not since The Atlantic<\/i> published a piece by Jack Miles in October 1992 (Black Versus Browns<\/i><\/a>) has it ventured into this sort of candid analysis. Frum tackles the flawed assumptions and methodology of the economists who can bizarrely look at the wage stagnation and under-employment<\/a> of today\u2019s beleaguered American worker and not see the \u201csupply shock\u201d brought about by decades of unremitting immigration. Take a look at this worthwhile piece \u2013 it may not happen again for twenty years.
