Rejecting the economic analysis of free market wage rates by such leading economists of that era as Alfred Marshall in England and John Bates Clark in the United States, economists of a Progressive orientation advocated minimum wage laws, as a way of preventing “low-wage races” such as Chinese immigrants from lowering the standard of living of American workers. Professor John R. Commons, for example, said “The competition has no respect for the superior races,” so that “the race with lowest necessities displaces others.” Professor Arthur Holcombe of Harvard, and a president of the American Political Science Association, referred approvingly of Australia’s minimum wage law as a means to “protect the white Australian’s standard of living from the invidious competition of the colored races, particularly of the Chinese.”
"Intellectuals and Race" by Thomas Sowell
The progressives just can't stand it when 'inferior' races out compete them.
Thing is, Asians HAVE suppressed wages by their mass immigration, which is why it was shoved down our collective Western throats. The Bullshit Maru is a case in point, whatever the fuck that shipful of sicks was. Not our fault the "peaceful" hindoos beat the fuck out of 'em when they were sent back. Not to mention the CPR and their chinese. They could have brought over Irish, but oh, no, they might want money and don't live on rice. All so we can be told "you don't need minumum wage, just live like these monkeys do, 50 to a bachelor apt and all share the rice bill like the packees, and eat dogs and rats and bugs like the chinks and afreakans do."
Stop sticking up for the motherfuckers. The thing that got me to see through Communism was when they tried to tell me that the pakis and chinks wouldn't compete way back when outsourcing was just starting.
It's not that they don't like or understand competetion, they just LIE about it.
Mass immigration regardless of race depresses wages. The issue is when people emigrate from poor countries into richer countries in general. This is also why wage growth has stagnated in recent years; as more and more women enter the workforce, there's more competition for workers and more choice for corporations so they can afford to keep wages low.
Anybody against immigration control is an enemy of the American people.
The Progressives have taken up their old ways:
