That's a net effect - more workers == more work getting done, but doesn't address the general fears of "taking OUR jobs" that I've seen debunked but never really understood.

If I'm a minimum wage worker and you increase the pool of minimum wage workers - sure, more jobs will be filled, more money in the economy, but if _I_ can't get a job due to market saturation, my situation is worse regardless.

Again, I'm FOR liberal immigration policies, in general, but I've been told the above fear doesn't play out (overall), and I don't understand why.
