The U.S.’s immigration blocks as a self-defeating path

The Hindu  

What do we see in the bustling corridors of Silicon Valley, the research labs of Boston, and the biotech hubs of San Diego? Impact on jobs A study by Britta Glennon found that in response to increasing H-1B visa restrictions, American companies do not typically hire more U.S. workers. Other research shows that each H-1B visa holder creates 1.83 additional jobs for native-born American workers over the next seven years. Research by Giovanni Peri and colleagues has shown that native wages actually rise when foreign science, technology, engineering and mathematics workers are hired, by increasing productivity and innovation, particularly in technical fields. Another report by the American Immigration Council challenges the widespread idea that H-1B workers earn lower wages than their U.S. counterparts, and, therefore, negatively affect wage growth.
