Descripción de la solapa
In the course of the book, Borjas carefully analyzes immigrants' skills, national origins, welfare use, economic mobility, and impact on the labor market, and he makes groundbreaking use of new data to trace current trends in ethnic segregation. He also evaluates the implications of the evidence for the type of immigration policy that the U.S. should pursue. Some of his findings are dramatic:
-- Despite estimates ranging into hundreds of billions of dollars, net annual gains from immigration are only about $8 billion.
-- In dragging down wages, immigration currently shifts about $160 billion per year from workers to employers and users of immigrants' services.
-- Immigrants today are less skilled than their predecessors, far more likely to require public assistance, and far more likely to have children who remain in poor, segregatedcommunities.
Borjas considers the moral arguments against restricting immigration and writes eloquently about his own past as an immigrant from Cuba. But he concludes that in the current economic climate -- which is less conducive to mass immigration of unskilled labor than past eras -- it would be fair and wise to return immigration to the levels of the 1970s (roughly 500,000 per year) and institute policies to favor more skilled immigrants.
Heaven's Door will stimulate new debate about immigration to the U.S. and, with Borjas's direct and level-headed approach to this contentious issue, substantially raise the quality and tone of the debate.
