So it hurts the "the very low end, among unskilled high-school dropouts."

Maybe we should not be hurting these people.

Not everyone with a bachalors degree is needed. There are plenty of Americans with bachalors that need work.

The effect measured was about -5%. On the other hand, for many, immigration is a matter of life and death.

For most immigration isn't life or death. For most it is about moving up economically. But whose interest do you value more citizens or non citizens?

There are about 200 countries/territories in the world. The isn't the only option and the US isn't obligate to take everyone.
