"Immigration lowers wages for low-income workers."
Neutral summary. Labor economists disagree about the size of any wage effect, and about whether it is concentrated among prior immigrants or among native-born workers without a college degree. This claim states the effect as a drop. The evidence is about the size and who bears it. Posted by sample_member · 9 days ago · 640 followers
