> Summary
>
> Do immigrants take American jobs? It’s a common refrain among those who want to tighten limits on legal immigration 
> and deny a "path to citizenship" — which they call "amnesty" — to the millions of immigrants living in the U.S. 
> illegally. There’s even a new Reclaim American Jobs Caucus in the House, with at least 41 members.
>
> But most economists and other experts say there’s little to support the claim. Study after study has shown that 
> immigrants grow the economy, expanding demand for goods and services that the foreign-born workers and their families 
> consume, and thereby creating jobs. There is even broad agreement among economists that while immigrants may push 
> down wages for some, the overall effect is to increase average wages for American-born workers.
