In this episode of Data Nation, economist Giovanni Peri and political scientist Margaret Peters join us to explore the evolving landscape of U.S. immigration and the data that shapes it. The discussion covers key issues like the economic impact of immigration on native-born workers, the role of wealth in shaping immigration policy, and the accuracy of immigration data. Peri and Peters share insights on how immigration affects wages, job markets, and public opinion, while examining the limitations of current immigration data and the misinformation it can fuel. Together, we unpack the myths, policies, and political pressures surrounding immigration, and what the numbers truly reveal.
