From the eighth paragraph of the
above website:
Nearly all economists, of
all political persuasions, agree that immigrants —
those here legally or not — benefit the overall
economy. “That is not controversial,” Heidi
Shierholz, an economist at the Economic Policy Institute,
told me. Shierholz also said that “there is a
consensus that, on average, the incomes of families in
this country are increased by a small, but clearly
positive amount, because of immigration."
After studying this lesson you should
be able to discuss the effects of immigration on substitute
resources and complementary resources.
