In Chapter 8 of We Wanted Workers the author goes into detail in regards to the economic benefits of immigration and more specifically about who in particular gains and loses from said immigration. He starts off by noting that factually there are some misleading statistics that may appear to some people as objectively beneficial. When looking simply at the numbers the author says that people will say immigration benefits companies financially. This data is true but the author says that there is another aspect of immigration, which is that there is typically a loss in value associated with the native population in a country. When immigrants arrive in a new country the data suggests that local populations that were already in place will experience an economic loss whilst large corporations that employ these new immigrants will experience the benefits noted in the data. The second major thing the author speaks about in the chapter is in relation to the types of immigrants that come to the country in terms of their skill level. The author says that immigration is most beneficial to the native populations when the immigrants that are coming into the country are of high-skill and even then there needs to be a certain set of criteria met in order to ensure that the immigrants have, as the author would say, a productive spillover on the native population. Not every immigrant will beneficially impact the native population and the author notes that it takes a certain criteria to ensure that productive spillover will occur. Do immigrants need to benefit the local society in order to justify being in the country or should the fact that they are often leaving a bad situation for a chance at a better life be enough to justify immigration regardless of the economic impacts?
