If she/her pronouns make you happier, then just use she/her pronouns. It's pretty simple

2019-12-21 02:49:51 UTC  

Your true friends will respect it

2019-12-21 02:51:21 UTC  

Speaking for myself, I can at least assure you that I will appreciate you regardless of how you identify or what pronouns you use πŸ™‚

__**Claim:** *wage change due to us immigration is either near zero or slightly positive*__

*Immigration (Economy)
Employment + Wages*

a consensus study by the National Academies finds that immigration to the US increases economic growth and doesn't reduce wages: https://www.nap.edu/catalog/23550/the-economic-and-fiscal-consequences-of-immigration

a meta-analysis of several immigration studies finds almost no effect on native wages or native employment: https://research.vu.nl/ws/portalfiles/portal/2853421 *We find small wage and employment impacts, even smaller than have been detected in previous metaanalytic research. A 1% point increase in the share of immigrants in a local labour market of the typical host country decreases wages of the native born by 0.029% (using a weighted average with weights determined by the precision of the estimates) and decreases employment of the native born by 0.011%.*

Immigration to the US slightly increases wages for natives, slightly decreases wages for low-education natives, and significantly decreases wages for immigrants: https://academic.oup.com/jeea/article/10/1/152/2182016 In the long run, these estimates imply an overall average positive effect of immigration on native wages of about 0.6% and an overall average negative effect on the wages of previous immigrants of about 6%. [....] All in all, one finding seems robust: once imperfect substitutability between natives and immigrants is allowed for, over the period 1990 2006 immigration to the United States had at most a modest negative long-run effect on the real wages of the least educated natives. This effect is between 2.1% and +1.7% depending on the chosen nesting structure, with the positive results coming from the nesting structure preferred by the data. Our finding at the national level of a small wage effect of immigration on less-educated natives is in line with the findings identified at the city level.

immigration is a net positive for the economy, but unequally benefits the high-skilled: https://www.economics.uci.edu/files/docs/colloqpapers/w06/Cortes.pdf The wage effects are sizeable but plausible: a 10 percent increase in the number of low-skilled immigrants in a city reduces the wages of low-skilled natives by 0.6 percent and of low-skilled immigrants by 8 percent (an own-labor demand elasticity of -1.2). My results imply that the low-skilled immigration wave of the 1990s increased the purchasing power of high-skilled workers living in the 25 largest cities by an average of 0.65 percent and decreased the purchasing power of native high school dropouts by an average of 2.66 percent. I conclude that, through lower prices, low-skilled immigration brings positive net benefits to the US economy as a whole, but generates a redistribution of wealth: it reduces the real income of low-skilled natives and increases the real income of high-skilled natives.

states with more foreign-born workers experience faster TFP (productivity) growth: https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/REST_a_00137

even immigration skeptic George Borjas admits that immigrants are net contributors: https://sites.hks.harvard.edu/fs/gborjas/publications/popular/CIS2013.pdf https://www.vox.com/2015/8/17/9164725/immigration-and-wages-impact Of the $1.6 trillion increase in GDP, 97.8 percent goes to the immigrants themselves in the form of wages and benefits; the remainder constitutes the "immigration surplus" the benefit accruing to the native-born population, including both workers, owners of firms, and other users of the services provided by immigrants.
