And it looks like not just to me, but to uh uh participants in this market that today's weak payroll numbers are a direct result of the conscious policy to limit immigration.And I'm just wondering if that trade-off is delivering the kind of benefits you want to see to us workers ...

The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady again this week, and could even keep them in neutral until October. For savers, this is excellent news. https://t.co/5S92a880VD ...
