Ask them about the minimum wage. Then ask again how wages, especially for lower-skilled workers, can rise if there is an influx of lower-skilled immigrants. Basically, it's not that most folks are against immigration, but we need to balance the needs of the country and take in folks who give a net benefit. Higher skilled folks help us and lower skilled only when there is a need for those workers, much like it was in the late 1800s.

Labor has supply and demand and if they want folks to have a 'living wage' then they need to understand all components that go into it.
