Ok so which is it? Then it says
"One intriguing study even suggests that the huge influx of immigrants since 1980 has boosted the average wage of U.S.-born workers by about 2 percent, partly by spurring additional capital investment."
WOW a whole 2% in 26 years. So that worker in 1980 can expect to double his pay in the year 2916.
then it says
"George Borjas, a professor at Harvard?s Kennedy School of Government, who is probably the most respected economist studying the issue, says the surge in immigration ? both legal and illegal ? has
reduced wages across the earnings spectrum by an average of 3 percent. The biggest impact has been on U.S.-born men who lack a high school diploma, who have seen their wages
depressed wages by nearly 9 percent, he found."
