...immigration reduces the average annual earnings of U.S.-born men by an estimated $1,700, or roughly 4%. If that reduction is applied to the roughly 135 million employed Americans, that reduces aggregate annual worker income by $230 billion, or $0.23 trillion.
You applied the statistic about U.S.-born men to all 135 million employed Americans, most of whom are not U.S.-born men.
