Conclusion --Notes --IndexThe U.S. took in more than a million immigrants per year in the late 1990's, more than at any other time in history. For humanitarian and many other reasons, this may be good news. But as George Borjas shows in Heaven's Door, it's decidedly mixed news for the American economy--and positively bad news for the country's poorest citizens. Widely regarded as the country's leading immigration economist, Borjas presents the most comprehensive, accessible, and up-to-date account yet of the economic impact of recent immigration on America. He reveals that the benefits of immigration have been greatly exaggerated and that, if we allow immigration to continue unabated and unmodified, we are supporting an astonishing transfer of wealth from the poorest people in the country, who are disproportionately minorities, to the richest. In the course of the book, Borjas carefully analyzes immigrants' skills, national origins, welfare use, economic mobility, and impact on the labor market, and he makes groundbreaking use of new data to trace current trends in ethnic segregation. He also evaluates the implications of the evidence for the type of immigration policy the that U.S. should pursue. Some of his findings are dramatic: Despite estimates that range into hundreds of billions of dollars, net annual gains from immigration are only aboutbillion. In dragging down wages, immigration currently shifts about60 billion per year from workers to employers and users of immigrants' services. Immigrants today are less skilled than their predecessors, more likely to re-quire public assistance, and far more likely to have children who remain in poor, segregated communities. Borjas considers the moral arguments against restricting immigration and writes eloquently about his own past as an immigrant from Cuba. But he concludes that in the current economic climate--which is less conducive to mass immigration of unskilled labor than past eras--it would be fair and wise to return immigration to the levels of the 1970's (roughly 500,000 per year) and institute policies to favor more skilled immigrants.ImmigrantsUnited StatesEconomic conditionsUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyUnited StatesEconomic conditions1981-2001Electronic books.ImmigrantsEconomic conditions.325.73Borjas George J124108MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457656303321Heaven's door512544UNINA02791oam 2200649I 450 991078503830332120230725023916.01-4398-5739-30-429-24611-01-4398-2513-010.1201/9781439825136 (CKB)2670000000034216(EBL)566004(OCoLC)666421493(SSID)ssj0000429368(PQKBManifestationID)11249702(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000429368(PQKBWorkID)10430591(PQKB)10970434(MiAaPQ)EBC566004(Au-PeEL)EBL566004(CaPaEBR)ebr10406782(CaONFJC)MIL693721(EXLCZ)99267000000003421620180331d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrTargeted violence a statistical and tactical analysis of assassinations, contract killings, and kidnappings /Glenn McGovernBoca Raton :Taylor & Francis,2010.1 online resource (334 p.)Description based upon print version of record.1-4398-5738-5 1-322-62439-9 1-4398-2512-2 Includes bibliographical references and index.Front cover; Contents; Introduction; About the Author; Chapter 1.
