This is based on a fundamental lie, or at best misunderstanding, of the right. They claim that the labor market is zero-sum, yet money has infinite possibility. “Anyone can become rich if they work hard enough.”

In fact the opposite is true. A controlled money supply makes it the ultimate zero-sum game. The rich having more necessarily keeps it from others. The labor economy is free to expand, however, as new workers means new consumers.

There is a point with housing, however that problem is fabricated by elites, with no cause related to immigrants.
