You're actually not. People in the workforce below the poverty line is unquestionably the best indicator for how "workers" are doing.

That doesn't inflate the price of all houses. It decreases the supply of one type of home, but creates the need for another (less expensive) type of home.
Is the percentage you quoted the percentage of workers below the poverty line or the total number?
Did I ever say anything about people 'below the poverty line according to an arbitrary and flawed measurement' or did I just use the word 'poor'?
In your Wikipedia travels, did you happen to notice that there are differing views about the value of that metric?
And have I not essentially acknowledged that Australia is shit too?
You're getting Jeb Bush'd in this debate... you need to come out stronger!
I could certainly be mistaken but generally income stats are only counted for those regarded as being in the labor pool and their dependants. Much the same way that unemployment stats only cover those whom are seeking work.
he also (allegedly) helped cover up the place of death & stonewalled the investigation.
then later worked on the FL recount for Bush.
earlier this year, argued to block the release of the JFK files & sided with the CIA during FOI hearings.
deep state stooge IMHO.

“Dear America, Appreciate Your Allies, You Don’t Have That Many” Tusk warns Trump
Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council called on President Trump early Tuesday morning to stop criticizing America’s allies because “you don’t have that many after all”
“Dear America, appreciate your allies, after all you don’t have that many,” Donald Tusk said after signing a joint European Union-NATO declaration on cooperation with alliance Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in Brussels.” Tusk has before been a vocal critic of Trump’s rhetoric toward NATO, tweeting in May when Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear agreement that “with friends like that, who needs enemies.” Tusk took further aim at Trump on Tuesday at a joint EU-NATO declaration, telling Trump that “it is always worth knowing who your strategic friend is and who is your strategic problem.” When Trump was asked the tough question that if he considered Putin a friend or foe, he said in response that “I really can’t say right now. As far as I’m concerned, a competitor. A competitor,” the president said. “I think that getting along with Russia, getting along with China, getting along with others, is a good thing, not a bad thing.”
Concerning his long list of trips to the UK, Brussel, and Finland, Trump said “I have NATO, I have the UK,which is in somewhat turmoil, and I have Putin,” he said. “Frankly, Putin may be the easiest of them all. Who would think?” He also brushed off Tusk’s warning about alienating American allies.”Well, we do have a lot of allies. But we cannot be taken advantage of. We’re being taken advantage of by the European Union,” he said, referring to trade issues with the EU. Along with trade policies, Trump has been demanding that NATO members increase their defense spending to come into line with a 2014 commitment while complaining that Europe benefits more from the partnership than the United States. The president knocked NATO members again in a tweet Tuesday before leaving for the two-day summit in Brussels.
Tensions are high as Trump heads back to Europe to meet with traditional American allies, some of whom were angered last month at the G7 conference in Canada. Questions linger about a potential trade war with the EU. In the past couple of weeks, Trump has announced new tariffs against European allies and has repeatedly denounced the transatlantic alliance, increasing political pressure on NATO allies ahead of this week. The all this made Donald Tusk as the president of the European Council to send tweet as response and say “Dear @realDonaldTrump. US doesn’t have and won’t have a better ally than EU. We spend on defense much more than Russia and as much as China,” Tusk wrote. “I hope you have no doubt this is an investment in our security, which cannot be said with confidence about Russian & Chinese spending”
Following Tusk’s tweet, Trump wrote “NATO countries must pay MORE, the United States must pay LESS. Very Unfair!” “The U.S. is spending many times more than any other country in order to protect them. Not fair to the U.S. taxpayer. On top of that we lose $151 Billion on Trade with the European Union. Charge us big Tariffs (& Barriers)!” Tusk reminded Trump that the first time NATO’s mutual defense clause to assist other members under attack came after the terror attacks on 9/11 and that 870 European troops have fought and died in Afghanistan. “Mr. President, please remember about this tomorrow when we meet at the NATO summit. But above all when you meet President Putin in Helsinki,” he said.
Donald Tusk is a piece of shit and is trying to win the Kalergi award.
Wonder if these Chinese products will get tariffs?
I wish he'd follow it up with "And if we need to fix the current process to grant new citizenship, then we need to look at that too."
It's a two part problem. The legal path is way too difficult and expensive. The illegal way is far too easy and cheap. It's not all that surprising to see folks choosing the path of least resistance.
Maybe someone should tell that to Melania.
Fake news as usual.

He's against people claiming assylum and refugees, which are legal routes. It's not about people choosing legal routes it's more about playing to his base that are against all immigration. You won't see Trump reforming the system to create a legimitate route for people to gain citizenship. I mean his ICE is deporting people that served two tours in Afghanistan for America.
I don't think this is true.
100% of Trump's base isn't the mouth-breathing, hood-wearing racists that the media likes to portray.
Those people exist, but just because you want to "fix" the borders doesn't mean you are a racist opposed to all immigration.
You guys need an immigration policy more like the one we have here in Canada - something Trump aspires to create!
The false narrative that Trump's base hates immigration in general is just fake news. He had a rally a few weeks back where he said "we're all for people coming here legally" and the whole place erupted in applause.
