As the above graph suggest, there is very high income inequality in US.
Possible actions or policies that might reduce such income distribution gaps
1. High tax rates for individuals earning higher.
2. Increase in minimum wages.
3. Investing in education (subsidies to poor families).
4. Reservations for poor families.
What would happen to the gap if we just enforced the Mexican border, allowing only legal immigration?
If this is enforced, then mexican employees will be reduced, improving the condition in US. Income inequality will reduce.
People coming from mexico are ready to work at a lower wage. This creates problems and increase income inequality.
