Well written and interesting. I would add that, in economic terms, the high levels of immigration have also greatly eroded income and in general negotiating power of so called "skilled" workers in white collar professions as well, in some categories there may narrow senses that in absolute value terms have them being even more economically harmed. Also, lately I've stated thinking that when using the word "educated" in some contexts, we should instead use the word "socialized" or the phrase "similarly socialized"...

The government must be checked and balanced, not for our sake, but for theirs. What we refuse to learn is that no -ism, no matter how powerful, will be sufficient to serve the needs of humanity. These -isms are inevitably simplified, consistent band-aids taping over complex and uniquely human concerns.

The inconstancy and flexibility of humanity is a feature, not a bug.
