It has been argued by some that immigration reduces job opportunities for native-born workers. Based on our understanding of labor markets, we would conclude that This statement is generally inconsistent with economic logic because wages do not differe from country to country and immigration is generally not economically logical. this statement is generally consistent with economic logic becuase there are only a fixed number of jobs available and immigrants are willing to work for lower pay than native born workers. This statement is generally inconsistent with economic logic since more supply can lower wages and induce additional labor demand. This statement is generally consistent with economic logic because when firms create new jobs they have a need for foreign workers with different edcuational skils than native born workers.
