But would the corporarions raise salaries and improve conditions if they had literally no other choice? That is the question.
Unionization demonstrably leverages benefits out of corporations, so I'm inclined to think that immigration bans would have the same effect.
- hnfong 13d agoThat's the question the article was trying to answer. >>> "If you don't allow firms to hire immigrant workers, they just become smaller firms," Lewis said. "They are not replaced with US workers. Instead, the output of the firm shrinks, and there are fewer total workers." So, no, if they had no choice they just shrink their operations, it seems. The apparent conclusion is that immigration bans will just force those companies to reduce operations or shut down, instead of paying higher wages to locals.
- matheusmoreira 13d agoIn this experiment, only some firms lost access to foreign labor. The outcome could have been different had all of them lost access due to a foreign labor ban.
