Immigration Reform and the Economy
By Spencer P. Morrison

On August 2, President Trump provoked another media meltdown by endorsing the RAISE Act, an immigration reform bill sponsored by senators Tom Cotton and David Perdue.

If passed, the RAISE Act would cut legal immigration to America by up to fifty percent, and break the cycle of chain migration by giving priority to immigrants with in-demand skills.

Bottom line:

"Taken together, the studies show that immigration does not cause economic growth. At best, mass immigration is a relatively benign force, while at worst it is devastatingly expensive."

Given the nature of chain migration its common sense. But that seems in such short supply these days.
