Give Me Your Tired, Huddled Masses...

Whatever about being free, I'm yearning for some hard information in the midst of all this philosophisal argument about immigration by Frank and Abiola. I remember reading about the Harvard economist George Borjas, himself a Cuban immigrant, in the Economist years ago, but never took much note. He teaches a course at the Kennedy School of Government on immigration policy. For my part, I'm not going to engage in the threads any more except in relation to either this or other concrete academic treatments of the subject. The full syllabus is here and the paper I will read, from the Journal of Economic Perspectives, is here. The papers from other journals are probably much more technical or targeted for an audience specialising in that area of economics. Otherwise, just take your pick from the JEP through JSTORS - I don't have the space to cache these.
