In August, 2010, CBS News and Vanity Fair commissioned a national poll that asked 1082 people, ““Do you think illegal immigrants coming into this country take jobs away from American citizens, or do they mostly take jobs Americans don't want?” Nearly 90 percent of the respondents chose one of the two options offered but 34 people said they had no opinion on the subject and 105 volunteered that it was a bit of both. Suppose we drop the latter two groups and specify: Percent Figure 1. Attitudes about whether Immigrants take Jobs away from natives by education

“Conventional Model”

The Immigration Equation By Roger Lowenstein. The New York Times Magazine, July 9, 2006 Mannuel I. Immigrant from Guatemala. House Painter. Norma M. Immigrant from Mexico Housecleaner. Salvador C. Immigrant from Mexico. Construction. The question of whether “more job seekers from abroad mean fewer opportunities, or lower wages, for native workers -- is one of the most controversial ideas in labor economics.”
