MYTH: Claims that the economy is at "full employment" used by the right to argue that Trump is rebuilding America and by the left to argue for higher immigration quotas.
FACT: Labor supply does not meet demand at a wage that Americans can live on.

What’s the unemployment rate when we don’t count jobs making less than $15 an hour? Sky high.
So much for bogus arguments that the economy is at “full employment” that are used both to shill for @realDonaldTrump
and to push for higher immigration quotas.

Sensible rules:
$15 minimum wage.
Heavy fines for employers who hire undocumented workers.
Universal health care buy-in option for 10% of income.
Increase immigration quotas only when the economy reaches full employment under these sensible rules, but NOT before then.
