Original Note:
The error in this analysis (called the lump-of-labor fallacy) is that immigration also increases demand for goods and services. Immigrants spend money they earn, creating demand for more labor. This effect offsets the effects of increasing supply on wages. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/what-immigration-means-for-u-s-employment-and-wages/
