Does immigration affect wages of indigenous people?

Possibly. I've worked jobs where the majority of fellow workers were from Eastern Europe and the wage was much lower than i certainly felt it should have been.
When i asked a co-worker about it they said it's because they (company bosses)know they can legally advertise the same job in Slovakia or Poland or Romania and get staff instantly at a lower wage.

The honest answer is I don't know. In a previous job we used to do drugs of abuse testing in a meat processinv factory. Most of the staff were Portuguese and eastern European. The management said they couldn't find local staff despite high unemployment. Impossible to say if they could afford higher wages or if the locals would then take them. Similar situations around farm labour, especially in the east of England. Another factor to bear in mind there is the power the large supermarkets have in driving down prices to farmers and so wages. Are we prepared to pay more for food? I worked one summer picking strawberries. There were no migrant workers, but there were no local workers either. All the workers were students, so maybe student summer jobs have disappeared, or is that because they're now all in south east Asia?

Yes, every construction worker sees and feels it since the EU is enriched by a lot of east European laborers. The second sort of (refuge) immigrants hardly work, so there you can feel it in raised taxes, ore less public services, they have to be payed, one way ore an other.

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.

Sometimes it makes them into slaves

It's called 'under-bidding' It happens to contractors all the time, but if you ask me, that's just good old competition. For me employment and wages are not the critical issue. Fiscal responsibility and national security play into it more in my world. Immigration is one of the things that makes this country great. It is 'illegal' immigration that needs to be addressed. I've chopped cotton for 25 bucks a day, and I'm in the commercial cleaning business now. You do what you have to do, but you don't 'sneak' in.

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.

There are job sites in Poland and other countries which advertise British jobs to foreigners. The employers know they can pay the foreigners less money, which puts a British person out of a job.

Higher taxes for one......their kids schooling isn't free just for one. .hence higher property taxes hence mo money outta my pocket

off course it does, christ where you stuck at the toilet having diarrhea during your econ 101 class?

It's like I keep telling these punks and underlings working for me; "You want a raise boy?! Well, India just made 10000 more IT Schools this year, and the graduats are all coming over here, they know what you know! So you better take Your 2 percent increase adjustment for inflation and BE HAPPY about it!"

More competition for jobs drives wages down. Simple common sense.

Very minutely

Possibly, but I also think it increases the productivity of indigenous people.
