Abstract
The article discusses the current immigration debate in the United States, highlighting its similarities to the immigration debate of a century ago. It mentions the Immigration Act of 1924, which significantly reduced the foreign-born population and altered the country's demographics for four decades. The article argues that pursuing restrictive immigration policies based on domestic political grievances may backfire and dampen U.S. economic growth. It also emphasizes the economic benefits of a growing immigrant population and calls for a reminder of these possibilities in the current immigration policy debate. [Extracted from the article]
