If you dump a bunch of people into the low end of income pool it's going to move the distribution curve.

And yet, despite massive immigration (from low income countries) for centuries, the US is one of the countries with highest salaries.

Sure, once the people here today have had a century of assimilation I suspect they will not impact the income distribution curve.

If you were happy with the income equality from a century ago, I'm willing to adopt the welfare and tax systems of that time so all the incentives are the same.
