How can anyone honestly claim immigration doesn't harm American workers if data like that is accurate?

Immigration effectively redistributes half a trillion dollars from U.S. workers to the businesses that hire immigrants each year, Harvard economist and immigration and wages expert George Borjas testified before Congress Wednesday.​

More Canadian math?

The 2015 US workers income was $15T. So $500B is what percent?

Where do you think he got his math wrong?

Where do you think he got his math wrong?

I don't 'think' he got his math wrong. What percentage of $15T is $500B? AND, is that an issue?

Your source is pretty well known as presenting misleading or plain false information. This linked article is no different. I'll just leave the link to the actual hearing (where this site pulled the soundbite from) here:

United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary

If you want the short of it, if you are a minority or low-skilled / educated worker (basically you are an idiot and poor), then you actually should fight tooth and nail against this influx of immigrants. You are directly suffering as a result of them. On the other hand, if you have skills or education then you actually should be a fan of keeping the borders open, and perhaps opening them even more.

To address the direct misleading information displayed here: Immigration adversely affects the workers with whom immigrants compete...typically lower skilled, uneducated workers (think your burger flippers or construction guys). EVERYBODY else benefits from them. The redistribution isn't from workers to businesses, it is from lower skilled workers to everybody else. Now, this does increase our growing inequality gap which you may or may not have an issue with, but that is a debate for another time.

TLDR: If you are poor and uneducated (especially if you are a minority) you should vote Trump (to close borders). If you have an education and have some money you should fight as hard as you can against Trump and closing the borders.

What the Harvard economist is saying is that immigrants add $1.6 trillion to the US GDP every year. Most of that goes to the immigrants.

$400 billion goes to the native born population. And most of that goes to the employers and investors instead of the workers.

In short, immigrants are a net financial gain. Just not to the average worker. They are a net gain for the one percenters.

Immigration and the American Worker

Yes redistributing to the wealthy. They benefit from cheaper labor.

They benefit from not paying the American without a high school diploma as little as possible. That's who the economist says is being harmed the most. You know...those people the Right scorns for asking for a higher minimum wage.

Those are the people the economist says are being robbed.

Don't think it is just the lowest paid, includes guest workers. Those are often better paying jobs.

Read the link. I even quoted him: "Immigration has its largest negative impact on the wage of native workers who lack a high school diploma".

Lack a high school diploma, aka Democrats

It's far leftist thinking to believe that getting rid of immigrants would create more jobs. Immigrants are more entrepreneurial than native-born Americans and create millions of jobs.

Despite accounting for only about 13 percent of the population, immigrants now start more than a quarter of new businesses in this country. Fast-growing ones, too--more than 20 percent of the 2014 Inc. 500 CEOs are immigrants. Immigrant-owned businesses pay an estimated $126 billion in wages per year, employing 1 in 10 Americans who work for private companies. In 2010, immigrant-owned businesses generated more than $775 billion in sales. If immigrant America were a stock, you'd be an idiot not to buy it. ...

As much as high-tech entrepreneurs like Pinhas and Chertok need Silicon Valley, it needs them too. Indeed, without immigrants, there would be no Silicon Valley as we know it. In the '80s and '90s, the area attracted more foreign-born scientists and engineers than any other part of the country; by 2000, 53 percent of the Valley's science and engineering work force was foreign-born. Immigrant founders started 52 percent of new Silicon Valley companies between 1995 and 2005. And in 2012, immigrant-founded engineering and technology companies in the U.S.--heavily clustered in California--employed 560,000 workers and generated $63 billion in sales.​

The Most Entrepreneurial Group in America Wasn't Born in America
