This chapter makes the standard economic case for free immigration. It outlines the
massive global gains in output that eliminating immigration restrictions could create.
It reviews the increased earnings and productivity of people based on place specific
productivity, it reviews the evidence of the impact of immigration on jobs, wages,
and fiscal deficits in destination countries ; Economic arguments favoring increased
immigration restrictions suggest that immigrants undermine the culture, institutions,
and productivity of destination countries. But is this actually true? Nowrasteh and
Powell systematically analyze cross-country evidence of potential negative effects
caused by immigration relating to economic freedom, corruption, culture, and terrorism.
They analyze case studies of mass immigration to the United States, Israel, and Jordan.
Their evidence does not support the idea that immigration destroys the institutions
responsible for prosperity in the modern world. This nonideological volume makes a
qualified case for free immigration and the accompanying prosperity.
