Immigrants 'allow everyone to specialize more in what they are doing best. That increases the efficiency of the economy, creates more output for everyone, increases GDP per capita for natives and benefits the immigrants as well.'
President Donald Trump's plan to reform the country's immigration system overlooks the economic contributions of lower-skilled immigrant workers, a Rutgers economist told Newsweek.
"What’s less obvious is that medium- and even the least-skilled immigrants also contribute to U.S. economy. The best way to think about this is that when immigrants are different from native workers, they come in and they do things differently from natives, and they allow everyone to specialize more in what they are doing best," she said.
"We discriminate against brilliance. We won’t anymore once we get this passed," Trump said in his Thursday speech.
