Summary:
This book summarizes the best social science studying the impact of immigration and finds that much of it is at odds with popular fears. Greater immigration could add trillions to global GDP. Immigrants have a neutral fiscal impact. The book is divided into two parts: empirical effects on wages, employment, fiscal impacts, cultural assimilation, and policy proposals, including market-based visas, pro-assimilation paths, legalization for undocumented immigrants, and open borders advocacy.
