           Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future 

            United States to Need Immigrants at All Skill Levels in Next 25 Years, "Competition Question" Still Unanswered
            Three new studies prepared for the Task Force examine immigrants' role in the US workforce and impacts on native workers.

            Immigrants and Labor Force Trends: The Future, Past, and Present
            B. Lindsay Lowell, Julia Gelatt, and Jeanne Batalova find that immigrants have been a driving force behind labor market growth in the United States in the past three decades. If immigration remains at current levels, immigrants and their children are projected to account for all growth in the US labor force between 2010 and 2030.

            The Contributions of High-Skilled Immigrants
            Neeraj Kaushal and Michael Fix find that while immigrants are one in eight US residents, they make up one in every five doctors in the country, one in five computer specialists, and one in six persons in engineering or science occupations. Immigrants are having profound impacts on science, medical, and technological fields. 

            The Impact of Immigration on Native Workers: A Fresh Look at the Evidence
            Julie Murray, Jeanne Batalova, and Michael Fix carefully review the extensive literature and conclude that despite the rhetoric of the current debate, the literature indicates that immigration does not have strong wage or employment effects on natives. 




            MPI has convened the Independent Task Force on Immigration and America's Future, a bipartisan panel of prominent leaders from key sectors concerned with immigration, to generate sound information and workable policy ideas.

            Former Senator Spencer Abraham (R-MI) and former Congressman Lee Hamilton (D-IN) serve as co-chairs of the Task Force. The panel's work is directed by Doris Meissner, the former Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service.

            The Task Force is a working group in which influential parties with different views and interests can search for common ground.  It has focused on four major policy areas:  the growing unauthorized immigrant population, immigration enforcement and security issues, labor markets and the legal immigration system, and integrating immigrants into American society.
