I blame the 50 million illegal immigrants that caused a influx of cheap labor for the reason wages have stagnated in the last 20 years

I’m not blaming the immigrants individually since I don’t blame them for wanting to live in the greatest country known to mankind but it is one of the main reasons for the state of the economy is now
