But this view of immigration's impact is overly simplified, explains George J. Borjas, a Cuban American, Harvard labor economist.

Ceea ce-l face deosebit este faptul că trăieşte într-o lume infernală, în care a urî, a iubi sau a munci sînt gînduri venite dintr-un efort supraomenesc al fiecărei clipe.
