That said, I'm still unconvinced that when you really game it out, it ends up a net positive, since I am not sure that adding more low-skilled workers into an economy that already has a shortage of low-skilled jobs accomplishes what he thinks it will.

During a booming economy, he may be right. But I'm not fully sold yet.
