- Of course they didn't. Any policy that wastes a resource (and labor
- is a resource) hurts the economy. It's just as bad for the economy
- and for workers as stopping immigrants who want to work from coming to
- the US.
-
- Of course, a few people do benefit - for example members of unions
- that could be broken if more cheap labor was available to break their
- strikes, but that's a rather limited subset of American workers.
