本文回顾了美国移民的最新证据，重点关注两个关键问题：（1）移民是否减少了低技能本地人的劳动力市场机会？(2)1965年《移民改革法》后抵达的移民是否已成功同化？总的来说，移民损害了受教育程度较低的本地人的机会的证据很少。在同化问题上，移民在美国出生的子女的成功是一个关键的衡量标准。根据这一指标，1965年后的移民表现相当不错。即使是受教育程度最低的移民群体的子女也缩小了与当地人子女之间的教育差距。
This article reviews the recent evidence on US immigration, focusing on two key questions: (1) Does immigration reduce the labour market opportunities of less skilled natives? (2) Have immigrants who arrived after the 1965 Immigration Reform Act been successfully assimilated? Overall, evidence that immigrants have harmed the opportunities of less educated natives is scant. On the question of assimilation, the success of the US-born children of immigrants is a key yardstick. By this metric, post-1965 immigrants are doing reasonably well. Even children of the least educated immigrant origin groups have closed most of the education gap with the children of natives.
