Timothy Taylor — China and India Overtake Mexico for Inflow of Foreign-Born US Residents


This is especially interesting in the immigrants from Mexico are chiefly unskilled or low-skill laborers while immigrants from China and India are highly educated and qualified in comparison.

The H1-B program keeps getting bigger. It's still wage suppression by any other name.

Locally, most of the ag laborers that I've bumped into recently have not been from Mexico but from other Latin American countries. I wonder if the results would be different if it included all Hispanic immigrants rather than only Mexicans?
