Ruchir Sharma's piece in the New York Times, entitled "To Be Great Again, America Needs Immigrants," is one such piece.
The underlying growth potential of any economy is shaped not only by productivity, or output per worker, but also by the number of workers entering the labor force...What makes America great is less about productivity than about population, less about Google and Stanford than about babies and immigrants.
In 2017 the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine released the most detailed study on the economics of immigration to date.
This is consistent with another study conducted by the Center for Immigration Studies, which found that mass immigration is one of the primary reasons wages for black Americans have stagnated over the last few decades.
In total, only about 15 percent of immigrants to America contribute to the economy in a meaningful way - this small minority of people constitutes the economic engine of immigration.
A means to an end.... Although liberals gleefully sacrifice America's economic growth to protect the environment, promote diversity, or build a social safety net, they all turn into Milton Friedman bobbleheads when it comes to immigration.
How can America have a genuine debate over immigration when one side refuses to tip its hand? Until the left admits their immigration obsession, everyone is wasting their breath.
