Description

Context: Consider the current state of the U.S. labor market, the recent attempts of immigrants to gain asylum at the U.S. southern border, and review the findings of this previous nonpartisan study (Links to an external site.) on the impacts of immigration on the US labor market.

Assignment: After considering both, answer the following questions:

  • How could immigration help resolve the current U.S. labor shortage?
  • What other impacts could increased immigration have on the business environment?
  • What role does hyper-partisanship play in preventing the country from coming to a solution?
