Document Summary
If they take in too many low skilled workers, the wages of low skilled workers will go down. Leads to an increase in high skilled wages. The reverse could also happen (if there are too many high skilled, then the wages will go down and this can lead to an increase in low skilled workers) No one can see the effects on wages based on immigration. Hard to make predictions due to the effects of immigration on wages and employment among native workers. Alternate effects (education + pro immigration attitudes) Conclusions formed on immigration as a whole, not high skilled: low skilled. High and low skilled natives prefer high skilled immigrants. Rich natives oppose low skilled immigration and greater fiscal exposure. To date, no empirical study has been able to distinguish between the attitudes that native citizens have toward highly skilled immigrants and their attitudes toward low-skilled immigrants.
