Immigration has several negative connotations associated with it – encroachment on jobs and businesses, language barrier, overwhelming government services, and change in the makeup of the local community that make certain individuals feel uncomfortable. While U.S. native-born workers tend to view immigration negatively, particularly at the local level, studies show that there are net gains to natives in the form of higher wages and productivity at the local, regional and national level. According to one study, “The positive impact of immigration on “skill diversity,” broadly construed, appears to be a key driving force behind this productivity impact.” Additionally, “evidence suggests that immigration induces natives to specialization in more complex jobs which complement immigrants’ skills, and that it induces higher levels of innovation, both of which may contribute to the observed productivity impacts.”(Use citations below)
Not sure which type of citations we use in economics but I put them all down.
