The authors of this volume examine the relative merits of immigration to the United States. In particular they attempt to provide answers to two basic questions concerning immigration: Do immigrants hurt or help us economically? And have large numbers of immigrants enhanced our economic well-being or taken jobs from American workers and lowered our standard of living and will this continue to be the case? Stephen Moore argues that immigrants always have been and will continue to be good for our economy. Vernon Briggs warns that unlike in earlier times immigrants arriving today have and will continue to have adverse effects on our economy mostly because our industrial and occupational patterns have changed dramatically since the early part of the century.
