Description:The economic impact of immigration is often viewed through a narrow lens.To many economists, immigrants are a collection of much-needed workerswho can fill predetermined slots along the proverbial assembly line, alwaysa boon to the host country. But immigrants are more than just workers; likethe rest of us, they have lives outside the factory gates and are affected bythe social environment in which they live. They make choices with unintendedconsequences. And those who migrate might not fit the ideal the receivingcountry has in mind. While George J. Borjas reveals that immigration has notaffected the average American all that much, it has also created many winnersand losers. Somebody’s lower wage is somebody else’s higher profit, and thosewho employ or use immigrants benefit handsomely.
