Factor in the migration of skilled labor from mid-wage occupations to lower-paying ones, and many skilled workers are unable to find decent and relevant work.
Additionally, there are two mechanisms that could be used to ensure that low-skilled workers who would greatly benefit from migration are not priced out of the market: loans and allotted time.
Jean-Philippe Chauzy, a spokesperson for the International Organization for Migration, says African countries with growing economies have the potential to attract skilled profs back home.
If the migrant workers needed by the American economy were allowed to enter legally through an orderly process of increased quotas--for temporary and permanent migration--practically all of the negative aspects associated with the immigration of low-skilled labor would cease.
