Hassett, translated: Now that we have fewer immigrants, we have fewer jobs. When we said that immigrants were taking your jobs, it's because we were lying that there's a fixed pool of jobs. You rubes fell for the lump of labor fallacy.
Justin Wolfers
Hassett: "The breakeven job number is a lot lower than it used to be because we're tightened the border. So 130,000 jobs this year is sort like 200,000 two or three years ago because we don't have this massive inflow of immigrants that are working. So these are really great jobs numbers."
