Inmigrantes (H1)

Dos breves sobre la inmigración. The Economist nos cuenta lo bueno que es tener inmigrantes, ya que amplían el networking del país, traen ofertas de negocios, etc. Pero todos los ejemplos que ponen son de inmigrantes calificados.

Robert Lucas, en este magnífico podcast se encarga de los inmigrantes no-calificados. Dice entre otras cosas (28:30)

- Q: Some americans worry that mexican workers will take their job away or at least compete with the highschool drop-out and drive down the wages. What are your thoughts about that?

- A: It's gotta be true to some extent

- Q: What do you think we have to do about it?

- A: Encourage people not to drop out school. We cannot set up our economy to make highschool drop-outs protected from economic privation. Just don't drop out highschool! You don't make much money if you drop out school, and that's the way it's gonna be. We should have better schools on low income areas and provide good highschool education. Give people opportunities. There are always gonna be people who take advantage of opportunities and people who don't.

A ver si Obama lee el post (o más probablemente, el articulo de The Economist) y afloja un poco el tema de las Visas
