George Will: U.S. immigration policy must focus on border control and guest workers
http://www.unionleader.com/article.aspx?headline=George+Will%3A+U.S.+immigration+policy+must+focus+on+border+control+and+guest+workers&articleId=62f6631e-f1f6-410b-a9cf-62f99bf00861

prints a 'fact' that Investor's Business Daily shows a new study that says 'demonstrating that "over the past 30 years rising immigration led to higher wages for US born workers"'. This is contradicted by

""From the early 1970s to 1995 wages were stagnant overall and median wages fell. After 1995 wages rose in response to low unemployment and faster economic growth. Wage inequality grew significantly during the 80s and 90s, especially with respect to the gap between top earners and middle and low wage workers.

The following chart shows wage trends for the 80% of workers who are production and non-supervisory workers. This includes factory workers, construction workers, and a wide variety of service-sector workers ranging from clerical workers to nurses and teachers. It does not include managers and supervisors. Note that compensation grew much faster than wages in the 70s.""

Wages were stagnant during all these many years, Mr. Will, and immigrats themselves were taking most of the new jobs being created, according to Northeastern University's study:

Immigrants account for half of new workers

Facts are stubborn things, as Mr. Will states in his article. But you can't pick and choose those "facts", now, can you ?
