The rapid rise in the proportion of foreign-born residents in the
U.S. since the mid-1960s is one of the most important demographic
events of the past fifty years. The increase in immigration,
especially among the less-skilled and less-educated, has prompted
fears that the newcomers may have depressed the wages and
employment of the native-born, burdened state and local budgets,
and slowed the U.S. economy as a whole. Would the poverty rate be
lower in the absence of immigration? How does the undocumented
status of an increasing segment of the foreign-born population
impact wages in the U.S.? In Immigration, Poverty and Socioeconomic
Inequality, noted labor economists David Card and Steven Raphael
and an interdisciplinary team of scholars provide a comprehensive
assessment of the costs and benefits of the latest era of
immigration to the U.S. As the debate over immigration reform
reemerges on the national agenda, Immigration, Poverty and
Socioeconomic Inequality provides a timely and authoritative review
of the immigrant experience in the United States. With its wealth
of data and intriguing hypotheses, the volume is an essential
addition to the field of immigration studies.
