The Economic Benefits of Immigration Reform

Comprehensive immigration reform increases all workers’ wages. 

        According to the http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/just-facts/economic-benefits-immigration-refor

•  The real wages of less-skilled newly legalized workers would increase by roughly $4,405 per year, while higher-skilled workers would see their income increase $6,185 per year. The wages of native-born high skill and low skill U.S. workers also increase modestly under comprehensive immigration reform because the “wage floor” rises for all workers.

• Legalized workers invest more in their human capital, including education, job training, and English-language skills, making them even more productive workers and higher earners and also paying higher taxes.
