Re: Eric Trump is claiming that we can lay the blame for 40 years of wage stagnation squarely on immigrants and the last 15 years in particular on the massive number of Syrians coming to this country.

...the problem is that Syrians didn't start leaving their country in any significant numbers until 2011 and very few of them have made it to the US so far. In fact, from 2011 to today, something just over 11,000 Syrians, hardly a massive number, have been allowed to enter the country, and the vast majority of them were women and children, certainly nothing that would even make a blip on the hourly wage graph.

No, Syrian Refugees Have Not Caused Four Decades Of Wage Stagnation

The paltry number of Syrian refugees in the U.S. doesn’t make a dime’s worth of difference on wages.
