Product Information
Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse-yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Using the tools of modern data analysis and ten years of pioneering research, new evidence is provided about the past and present of the American Dream, debunking myths fostered by political opportunism and sentimentalized in family histories, and draw counterintuitive conclusions, including:* Upward Mobility : Children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially those of poor immigrants, do better economically than children of U.S.-born residents - a pattern that has held for more than a century.* Rapid Assimilation : Immigrants accused of lack of assimilation (such as Mexicans today and the Irish in the past) actually assimilate fastest.* Improved Economy : Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways and staves off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population.* Helps U.S. Born : Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the U.S.-born-the people politicians are trying to protect.Using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employing big data and algorithms, Abramitzky and Boustan are like dedicated family genealogists but millions of times over. They provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the "golden era" of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided.

Reviews
"Migration myths are contributing to tearing our nation apart. This book, grounded on deep original research and made lively by moving personal accounts, is an essential read. It shows that little has changed in this salad bowl that is our country, neither the migrants' travails nor their successes nor, sadly, the prejudices they encounter."-- Esther Duflo, McKinsey Summer Reading list, "This wonderful and highly readable book provides the facts and sets the record straight about the hot-button issue of immigration and is a must-read for anyone who cares about this important issue. Immigrants benefit from coming to the US, but so does the country from the diversity, skills, and energy that they bring. Remarkably, most existing evidence suggests that native workers are not harmed by immigrants . "-- Daron Acemoglu, Institute Professor of Economics, MIT, and coauthor of Why Nations Fail and The Narrow Corridor, "[A] Data-Driven Analysis of Not Just Immigrants but Also Their Legacies."-- Harvard Business Review, "Economists Abramitzky and Boustan mount a compelling argument for the success of immigrants in the U.S. for more than 100 years. Drawing on data documenting millions of immigrants from many countries, arriving with varying levels of education and resources, they find strong evidence of immigrants' upward mobility, assimilation, and contributions to the economy and culture...A well-researched, informative contribution to a contentious--and often misinformed--debate."-- Kirkus
