I seriously feel like I’m trying to communicate with someone of limited mental capacities. Your ability to completely miss the point while also not making a coherent point of your own is staggering.
I am sure with all you knowledge you have read and understand all these studies, so break it down for me... have wages gone up or down?
Break what down for you? You havent even demonstrated a remedial knowledge of economics, statistics, wages (do you even understand the difference between "wages" and "buying power"), finance, basic math and/or anything that has happened in the last 60 years that may have affected how people are paid and why they live where they live. I don't even know where to start as you don't even seem to have the basic foundation needed to understand why you are wrong.
You seem to think that a 30 year old carpenter in 2018 should have more buying power than a 30 year old carpenter in the 60s. On top of that, construction seems to be the only industry you have any "experience" with and you only seem to be familiar with the socal construction industry which is notoriously fickle and erratic. Again, and for the like the 4th time, where else have you lived and worked that would lead us to believe that you have any kind of "real world" experience of note.
Your very limited experience means jack-shit and you have already demonstrated that are impervious to learning anything new that doesn't fit into your biased world view in which you have chosen to blame immigrants for the problems in your life. You don't seem to understand the difference between "wages" and "real wages" and you havent demonstrated why you think either should be going up. Why do you think the middle class in 2018 should have more buying power than the middle class in the 60s? How have wages and job types changed in the last 60 years and how has reporting and analysis of wages changed or not changed to accommodate contractors/owners/revenue sharing/new types of benefits/different types of working conditions and situations/etc.? How has automation and unskilled labor affected certain industries? How does the quality of life of the low income wage earners in 2018 compare to low income wage earners in the 60s? Its like nothing has gotten better for you in the last 40 years and the only thing you seem to be able to correlate your lack of progress with is immigration...
Irvine california, just 40 minutes south of LA, has a housing shortage with a median home price of somewhere around 700-800k. The population of Irvine has doubled in the last 10 years primarily due to an influx of immigrants and the average salaries are much higher than the national average so, by your shallow logic, immigration must be good overall right? OR, is it possible that your superficial and very limited "real world experience" doesn't really paint a particularly detailed picture of the effects that immigrants have on our economy, wages, cost of living, quality of life, etc.
