This isn’t a matter of poring over data; it’s a matter of power. The bourgeoisie have it and proletarian immigrants don’t. They have even less power than proletarians with citizenship. Most who come here come out of desperation due our imperialist bourgeoisie super-exploiting their homeland.
We’ve had the “data” for the last ~500 years of capitalism, but you have to go out of your way to find it. You’re not going to find much of it on TV or at Barnes & Noble because corporations would rather you not find it.
One of the better places to start, I think, is a detour into developing real media literacy. Previously.
