Can you point out who is saying this?
Any time you hear right-wing talking heads complain about 'elites' and 'illegal immigrants' in the same breath, that's usually the case. I don't really have the patience to dig through the Tangerine's speeches or Buck Fuckerson or Bill O'Reilly or Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh for a quote for someone I'm not even sure is asking questions in good faith.
I don't agree. I've never heard immigration stated as a cause of wealth disparity. I'm not asking for some random scientific study or stat. If it's so common please point out where it's coming from.
I guess this link says it.
immigrants in the country illegally of stealing jobs from American workers
I mean it doesn't exactly state it like wealth disparity, but such link can be easily made.
