Why do you assume that only "white folks" are concerned about the impact of mass immigration on wages? Do you have any evidence for that? Please present it if you do.

Why do you put the term working-class in scare-quotes? We all know what that term means, unless, of course, you have some special personal usage of it that is all your own, which is, I admit, what I suspect. The people I know work night shifts at the liquor store to pay for their overpriced studio apartments, so it's hard to imagine them thinking of shopping at Wal-Mart--or anywhere else--as entertainment, much less owning sailboats and weekend houses and giving their daughters $30,000 weddings, if I might quote a particularly cluelessly idiotic post that a certain someone threw up here not long ago.

Most importantly, do you honestly think that a citizen of a country deserves no more consideration than someone who just showed up this morning? If you do, please defend that position. Please be sure to explain how native workers should go home and explain to their families that they should just get kicked out onto the streets because someone else was willing to work their job for less money. That's really the key issue here, after all, once we cut out all the bullshit and get down to reality.

I look forward to your reply.
