Despite deep divisions on the issue of immigration, this book shows
that immigration promotes economic innovation, expands the job
market, and contributes to diversity and creativity in the United
States. Immigration, as a conduit for bringing new talent, ideas,
and inventions into the United States, is essential to the success
and vitality of our economy and society. In this timely book,
researched and written by the Immigration Book Project Team at Penn
State University, immigration is approached from historical,
economic, business, and sociological perspectives in order to argue
that treatment of immigrants must reflect and applaud their
critical roles in supporting and leading the economic, social,
cultural, and political institutions of civil society. Approaching
immigration as both a socioeconomic phenomenon and a matter of
public policy, The Danger of Devaluing Immigrants offers
demographics and statistics on workforce participation and job
creation along with stories of individual immigrants' contributions
to the economy and society. It supports the idea that, when
immigration is challenged in the political sphere, we must not lose
sight of the valuable contributions that immigrants have made-and
will continue to make-to our democracy. Approaches immigration from
many perspectives: economic, business, historical, and sociological
Investigates the substantial roles of immigrants in critical
industries and sectors across the U.S. economy Emphasizes the
bimodal nature of attitudes toward immigrants depending on their
education and skill level and abilities Includes personal stories
and case studies from immigrants Draws on the expertise of a team
from the Smeal College of Business at Penn State University
