yup, just what we need, "facts" from a guy in berkley... from 1993..
oh yea, heres his specials of the day...
Research interests: Welfare reform; Immigration; Effects of Medicaid program; Pension incentives and retirement; Labor supply; Education; Minimum wages; Strikes and collective bargaining; Evaluation of social programs; Unemployment; Wage rigidity...
Most recently, he received the IZA Prize in Labor Economics from Germany's Institute for the Study of Labor, the leading award for labor economists...
gotta luv the findings...
On immigration, Card's research has shown that the economic impact of new immigrants is minimal. Card has done several case studies on the rapid assimilation of immigrant groups, finding that they have little or no impact on wages. In an interview with the New York Times, Card said, "I honestly think the economic arguments [against immigration] are second order. They are almost irrelevant."
What world does this nut-job inhabit anyway.
notice the minutae selcetion... "wages". Ask any hospital administrator south of the Mason-Dixon line what the total economic impact is.
