Published: March 12, 2009 In practicing immigration law, I found that in our society, there are several misconceptions related to immigration and the immigrant population. In a series of columns to come, I will address some myths. Myth 1: Immigrants take jobs away from Americans. Reality: Economic studies show that immigrants actually increase economic productivity and wages of American workers. The most common myth of migration that I hear is that immigrants are taking all “our” jobs. In fact, studies support the idea that immigrants, whether here legally or illegally, not only do not take jobs from native citizens, they do create jobs and increase economic output and wages of American workers. A key finding in a 2007 report of the Council of the White House of Economic Advisers (CEA) in the Executive Office of the President, is that, on average, U.S. natives benefit from immigration because immigrants tend to complement Native Americans and does not replace
for them in the workplace. workers born abroad to fill gaps left by workers born in both high-skilled and unskilled jobs, the jobs necessary to the effective pursuit of the current U.S. economy and society. A March 2008 National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) report showed that for every H-1B visa (non-immigrant visa which allows U.S. employers to temporarily employ foreign workers in specialty occupations) requested by an S U.S. & P 500 technology company, overall employment in the company rose by five workers. The NFAP report also found that among firms in the study sample-
experiencing layoffs, for all H-1B position requested, total employment was estimated at two workers more than it would have been otherwise. A report published this month by the Institute of Technology Policy noted that highly skilled immigrant workers admitted to the United States on H-1B and other visas, the allocation of federal budget by paying more tax than less skilled workers. In addition, the Technology Policy Institute study found that these types of highly skilled immigrants are not eligible to receive federal benefits, particularly in the short term. In his detailed report published in 1997, the National Research Council Canada (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences has concluded that on average, an immigrant and his or her children generate revenue that exceeds expenses public over time approximately $ 80,000 more in taxes than they receive state, local and federal benefits during their lifetime. According to the report of the CEA in 2007, projections made by the NRC in the previous decade were accurate. The CEA report said that “long-term impact of immigration on public budgets is likely to be positive.” When immigrants fill positions less well qualified labor, hard work and lower pay allows higher-skilled American workers to increase productivity and increase their incomes. In addition, as the natives of the U.S. population becomes more educated, young immigrant workers fill gaps in markets with low skilled labor. Born workers are then able to specialize in their profession of their choice. This process is illustrated by typical corporate poultry packaging. In most poultry-producing companies, owners, managers and board of directors are able to address business companies because
enable them to hire lower-paid, often immigrant workers to process, cleaning and packaging of the product. As has been noted repeatedly by other authors, there are few American workers who are willing to accept these types of low-paid jobs and working conditions difficult. The CEA concluded that “immigrants are not only fuel the economic growth of the nation, but also have an overall positive effect on the U.S. economy as a whole and income-born American workers.” According to the CEA workers, about 90 percent of U.S. born of increased wages due to immigration. In its 1997 report, the NRC has estimated that the annual wage gain due to immigration of workers from the United States was 10 billion dollars each year. In 2007, the CEA estimates the gain to more than 30 billion dollars per year. In addition to having an overall positive effect on average wages of American workers, an increase of migrant workers is also increasing the employment rates of native American workers. According to a study based on data from the U.S. Census Bureau at the state conducted by the non-partisan research group Pew Hispanic Center, between 2000 and 2004 “there was a positive correlation between the increase of the population born in the abroad and employment of native-born workers in 27 states and the District of Columbia. ” For example, the Public Policy Institute of California reported that California has experienced an increase in salaries of Native Americans by about four percent from 1990 to 2004 – a period of substantial influx of immigrants to the State – because of the complementary skills of immigrant workers and increased demand for tasks performed by native workers. studies conducted earlier in the decade by the Brookings Institution, showed that immigrants entrepreneurs and business owners to create additional jobs in the U.S. economy for American citizens and other immigrant workers. The myth that all “our” jobs are taken by workers immigrants is simply not based in fact and should be abandoned.
