Noah Smith writes about a recent Clinton interview: “The double standard here is remarkable. Clinton explicitly states that she wants to protect software engineers, lawyers and product managers from foreign competition. But she has no such desire to protect low-skilled laborers. If Clinton believes that immigrants reduce native-born wages, why is she OK with reducing the pay of the native-born poor and middle class? Why does she only want to protect workers who already make high salaries?” I can’t think of a good reason.
