Low wages are not the fault of the immigrants. The blame lies with the employers who seek to exploit them.

I never said low wages were the fault of the immigrants.
Wages are indeed set by the market, as you say.
But what if the government have put their thumb on the scale and flooded the market with cheap non-skilled immigrant labour? Which is what they have done for 30 yrs.
Are you seriously going to try and argue that immigration hasn’t depressed wages? Should be fun if you are.
