The Immigration Debate: Studies on the Economic, Demographic, and Fiscal Effects of Immigration

By National Research Council, Panel on the Demographic and Economic Im, Commission on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education

The New Americans (NRC 1997) presents an analysis of the economic gains and losses from immigration--for the nation, states, and local areas--providing a scientific foundation for public discussion and policymaking. This companion book of systematic research presents nine original and synthesis papers with detailed data and analysis that support and extend the work in the first book and point the way for future work. The Immigration Debate includes case studies of the fiscal effects of immigration in New Jersey and California, studies of the impact of immigration on population redistribution and on crime in the United States, and much more.
