Does immigration affect wages of indigenous people?

This is an issue in Canada, although I am unaware of any evidence of wage for wage. It certainly affects the employment rate though.

The complaint is that employers use immigrants and particularly temporary foreign workers (TFW) to fill labour shortages and do not hire aboriginal people. Immigrants have a ~6% unemployment rate while with aboriginal people it's something like 40%.

Now the simple reason for that is that most people immigrate into jobs. Canada needs a constant supply of immigrants, and that's all working okay.

The problem is that there's incredible racism towards aboriginal people and unbelievable poverty. So many of the issues around our aboriginal populations insanely complicated, perilous, and entrenched in a lot of old and new politics.

So there's a major problem to solve there, but frankly I don't think it has anything to do with immigration. The complaints about immigration cast the blame in the wrong direction.
