This isn’t the reason retard. Let me explain.

>1965
Immigration act
>1971
Go off gold standard.

>1970
Easy to work any po dunk blue collar job as a white person and make it.

>1975
Still easy to make it. Maybe at 95% of what you could when they took us off gold standard. Barely any 3rd worlders here

>1980
Still easy to make it. Nothing feels weird. You can make it at maybe 88% of what you could 10 years earlier. Can still be a roofer or whatever and have 3 kids. Big cities maybe have 5-6% 3rd worlders there now.

>1985
Still fine. Nothing seems too off. Blue collar worker is probably at 75% levels compared to 1971. 3rd worlders maybe around 10% and starting to seep into the workforce cuz whites are starting to slowly leave.

>1990
Probably the inflection year. Storm clouds on the horizon. White people probably realize it’s not near as worth it as it was before. Still can make it work, maybe at 60% of 1971. More 3rd worlders here but it not like WTF

>1995
Whites start bailing. Maybe 20-30% are 3rd worlders. Can still make it work but barely.

>2005
It’s basically over.

>2010-2015
It’s really over.

People keep saying that migrants lower wages. That’s not true at all. It’s actually impossible to pay the inflation adjusted wages from 1965 that white people cruised on back then. You’d probably have to pay a roofer $90/hour to be equal to a roofer in 1960 who easily raises a family. It’s just impossible.
