With the United States now officially in a recession and the economic pain being shared in countries around the world, it is important to analyze how immigration flows — both legal and illegal, and both to and from the United States — are being affected by tighter labor markets.
MPI's new report, Immigration and the Current Economic Crisis, examines the evidence on how immigrants fare — and behave — during recessions going back to the Great Depression. Join MPI for a discussion on immigration flows and the jobs picture; how state and local government budget cuts may affect immigrants; and how the economy is affecting remittances.
