So show us the proof that wages have risen across all percentiles in the last years. Then the new jobs that replaced those were lost as industries automated and globalised.
And then the millions of new jobs that illegal migrants were paid a good wage to fill.
The only reason for illegal migrants is to keep wages down. This does not include legal migrants who do contribute. The hidden costs of those illegal migrants are the jobs they take from Americans of all colours, the forcing down of wages, the social costs like housing, education, healthcare, policing, etc.

The unemployment rate captures the number of unemployed people as a share of the labor force. But it doesn’t tell you anything about people who stopped looking for work a month ago or more. This group has effectively dropped out of the labor force.

However, the low rate of unemployment is contradicted by the long-term decline in the labor force participation rate. After a long rise during the Reagan 1980s, the labor force participation rate peaked in January 1990 at 66.8 percent, more or less holding to that rate for another decade until 2001 when decline set in accelerating in September 2008.

In America you have two rates of unemployment. One for those who recently lost their jobs and still searching and the real one containing those who have given up looking.

And show us the American Dream so many Americans aspired to in the 70s and 80s is still alive today.
If you can. But you can't so stop the bullshit.
