One of the main reasons that many of them believe immigration is harmful is that they are afraid immigrants could take away jobs from American workers. On average, there is a small positive effect on the labor market outcomes of American workers in the long run. Certain groups are slightly effected, most…

States has welcomed immigrants during times of both expansion and positivism, however, during times of both economic stagnation and uncertainty, the anti-immigration sentiment does seem to rise accordingly.
