The Fiscal Times recently referenced immigration research from Professor Giovanni Peri for an article, "Donald Trump Speaks with a Forked Tongue on Immigration".
Peri's research notes that immigrants tend to have different skills from the native-born population that complement the skills of the U.S. labor force and have only a small effect on wages. Immigrants make the economy more efficient by reducing bottlenecks caused by labor shortages, both in high-skill and low-skill areas.
