The Truth About Immigration and the American Worker.

The article explores the economic impact of immigration on U.S. workers. Topics include the economic debate over whether immigration depresses wages for native-born workers, with evidence suggesting it doesn't; the 1980 Mariel Boatlift study, which found that an influx of low-skill immigrants to Miami had no negative effect on wages or employment; and the broader perspective that immigrants not only compete for jobs but also increase demand for goods, balancing out labor market effects.
