Does immigration affect wages of indigenous people?

And do you have evidence for that which is non-hypothetical?

Are you using the classical definition of indigenous, or as in non-immigrants?

This is going to vary from country to country, and job to job, making it difficult to produce a one answer fit all.

In Europe, it is easier for illegal or temporary workers (white), to work jobs across the services/construction/manufacturing spectrum.

In the US, we have tougher regulations, making it more difficult for immigrants, to get jobs outside low-end blue collar (construction is not a low-end blue collar job).

As far as the US goes, the aboriginal unemployment and employment equality issues, are unrelated to illegal immigration.

Yes, classical definitions. That doesn't answer my question on wage deflation though.
