One contentious aspect of immigration reform concerns the extent to which less-skilled
immigrants compete with less-skilled natives for jobs. Although research generally
finds that less-skilled immigrants scarcely undercut the employment or wages of less-skilled

on Immigration, Population and Public Policy at UC Irvine. Susan K. Brown is associate
professor of sociology at UC Irvine.
