Recent discussions highlight the significant impact of immigration on the U.S. economy. According to Jason Furman, the increase in the number of people working in the U.S. since the pre-COVID period is entirely due to the rise in foreign-born workers. Furman argues that immigrants support American retirees through their labor and taxes, bring innovation that boosts economic growth, and generate demand as consumers, creating more jobs. The household survey shows millions more people working today. Additionally, there is no new evidence suggesting that liberalizing immigration has a net negative effect on the U.S. economy. This underscores the argument for more legal immigration to sustain economic growth.

Good post from Tyler. There's no new evidence out there that suggests that for the US, liberalizing immigration is a net negative. This is not to say that unilateral open borders is the right policy, but more legal immigration still has net benefits. https://t.co/MKPteYlexp
