I think that is true as a lot of wages have dropped for average Americans, however western competitors have some issues of their own per the following articles.
My point is that upward mobility in America is second to none if you want to work for it, sometimes even without an education. Your living in the past if you think you can make the same union wages as you did 20-30 years ago and blaming illegals is not the reason. Globalization has been the main cause of that.
You may have to dig in for a few years, and consider changing careers but by and large there are more opportunities in the U.S. than with western competitors.
