Most are U.S. born, however, even if not men. Though there may be some slight difference in the effect on U.S.-born women, and non-U.S. born men, the general idea is the same. It suppresses wages.

The general decline in wages can be seen from the copy below of hourly and weekly real wages from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Hourly wages declined 0.24 % in March. Weekly wages declined 0.27%.



Below are the links to the both weekly and hourly real wages.
