Manhattan InsightsBorders of Prosperity: Immigration's Impact on the U.S. EconomyThe role of immigration in shaping the nation's economy remains a hotly contested area of debate. Factors such as the real economic benefits of high-skilled versus low-skilled immigrants, the impact of immigration on native employment, and the role of policy in shaping these dynamics stand at the forefront of this national conversation. While immigration is accepted to have wide-ranging effects on job markets, wages, and the broader economy, assimilation and the promotion of American values are equally important. And to what extent should Americans citizens expect immigrants to assimilate to American culture, habits, and ways of living?2023-11-301h 02Parsing Immigration PolicyLegal and Illegal Immigration: Understanding U.S. High-Skilled ImmigrationIn this week’s episode of the Center for Immigration Studies’ Parsing Immigration Policy podcast, the senior editor at The American Conservative, Helen Andrews, delves into the topic of high-skilled immigration and its political, economic, and cultural implications.

- Les perdants seront les travailleurs natifs en compétition avec les mêmes positions que les migrants
- Les gagnants seront les employeurs, qui emploient ces même personnes.
En fin de compte, l'immigration n'est pas beaucoup plus qu'un programme de redistribution de la richesse.
