A new
study by George Borjas from the John F. Kennedy School of Government
at Harvard University reveals what many have long been concerned about when it
comes to illegal immigration into the United States.
According to Borjas' paper, the
"employment rate of undocumented men is 86.6%, as compared to 73.9% for
natives and 77.8% for legal immigrants," and this gap has been widening
since the mid-1990s.
TheThe study shows that about 10% of all
persons in their early 30s are undocumented. In addition, 23% of illegal immigrants live
in California, 7% reside in New York, and 15% live in Texas.
Borjas
reached the following conclusions:
Even after the regression exhaustively controls for... skill
differences -- and adjusts for the possibility that economic conditions varied
dramatically over time for each of the narrowly defined skill groups, as well
as for the possibility that economic conditions varied dramatically among the
different geographic regions where the three groups tend to settle -- it is
still the case that the employment rate of immigrants, and particularly that of
undocumented immigrant men, increased dramatically relative to that of
native-born persons.
More
evidence that illegal immigrants are both taking jobs away from legal Americans
and undercutting their wage bargaining power.
