George J. Borjas, one of the world’s leading scholars of immigration, discusses the winners and losers from immigration, the effects of immigrant workers on native-born workers, the holistic effects of immigration on the welfare state and public services, the H-1B program, Senator Sessions’s nomination as attorney general, the moral dimension of immigration policy, and more.
While you’re at it, don’t miss Dr. Borjas’s short essay on Castro’s death, “Vignettes From A Communist Utopia” — “I will always remember being lined up with my family against the wall with soldiers pointing machine guns at us while other soldiers searched” — or his chapter on immigration in my recently published edited volume.
