EPI’s work on immigration is rooted in the recognition that, even during times of high unemployment, the country remains dependent on immigration labor. The problem is not that immigrants come to work in the United States but that immigration levels are not regularly adjusted to correlate with shifting labor market conditions in different parts of the country. We have proposed a plan for comprehensive immigration reform that would lead to better wages for American workers, while also addressing the needs of U.S. employers.
