Abstract

Examines the principal positions which have emerged among economists about immigration's impacts, and then reports the results of empirical analysis of the wage and employment effects of both recent undocumented aliens and settled migrants on native-born workers. A large 1980 census microdata bank is used to permit separate estimates for men and women, subdivided by race and Spanish origin. -from Author
