Will Open Borders Help or Hurt America? Shikha Dalmia Debates Reihan Salam at AEI this Evening
More than 11 million immigrants are living without authorization in the United States. US high-tech companies say
they could expand and innovate more if America increased high-skilled immigration, and low-wage employers are desperate for more low-skilled labor from overseas.
These are the problems comprehensive immigration reform aims to solve. But the proposed solutions have their own problems. Would a reform bill hurt working-class Americans? Should new immigrants have access to government benefits? Does President Obama have authority to act unilaterally on any of these issues?
Come to AEI for a lively debate on immigration reform, featuring Shikha Dalmia of the Reason Foundation and Reihan Salam of National Review at 6 p.m. this evening. Or watch it live streamed.
