Comprehensive immigration reform that legalizes currently unauthorized immigrants and creates flexible legal limits (that rise and fall with labour demand) on future immigration in the context of full labour rights would help American workers and the U.S. economy. Unlike the current enforcement-only strategy, comprehensive reform would raise the “wage floor” for the entire U.S. economy—to the benefit of both immigrant and native-born workers this Centre for American Progress publication argues. An idea definitely worth scrutinizing in Europe!
