How has immigration affected the average voter?

Tasty ethnic food. There are tasty tacos around, some good Pho, there was an Ethiopian place around here, and tabouli with BBQ.

The remaining Caribbean place around here is really disappointing and the pulled pork is dry, so there is that.

How has immigration affected the average voter?

More competition on the job market, housing market and so on? Especially visible in big companies and big cities?

And immigrants famously will work longer hours for less, thus the capitalists are using them to keep wages low.

Seems like a good reason for unions and worker protection. Let’s have a good highly visible corp prosecution as a lesson

Yes. There's not enough unions in the EU and the power is overwhelmingly favouring the employers (interestingly that is the effect of allowing mass immigration into the EU: more workers who didn't unionise and were willing to work more hours for less money tends to weaker the worker class power; I have no idea how to give us more power short of literally eating the rich). I don't even want to think how shit the worker situation is in the USA.
