Does America need more or less immigration? Should we let the free market decide how many immigrant workers the economy can support? Or should a responsible government manage the flow of labor?
On Tuesday, April 22, Reason Foundation Managing Editor Tom Clougherty moderated a debate on immigration reform featuring Cato Immigration Policy Analyst Alex Nowrasteh, Professor of Economics at George Mason University Bryan Caplan, and Executive Director of the Center for Immigration Studies Mark Krikorian.
Each participant spoke for 10 minutes on what open borders would mean to wages, unemployment, and the labor market in America.
About 35 minutes.
Cameras and audio by Meredith Bragg and Joshua Swain. Edited by Swain.
