A new report published this week finds that Congress’ inability to pass immigration reform is screwing over American workers — both in terms of wages and employment.
“The hundreds of thousands of jobs — and millions more in wages — that could have been created for U.S.-born workers in the absence of the H-1B visa lotteries represent much more than just well-paid positions and professional opportunities for tens of thousands of American families,” concludes a report by a team of economists, including University of California Davis Economics Professor Giovanni Peri. The report was written for the pro-reform group, The Partnership for a New American Economy.
