It identifies the economic gains and losses from immigration--for the nation, states, and local areas--and provides a foundation for public discussion and policymaking. Three key questions are explored: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat is the influence of immigration on the overall economy, especially national and regional labor markets?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat are the overall effects of immigration on federal, state, and local government budgets?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat effects will immigration have on the future size and makeup of the nation's population over the next 50 years?\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Americans\u003c\/i\u003e examines what immigrants gain by coming to the United States and what they contribute to the country, the skills of immigrants and those of native-born Americans, the experiences of immigrant women and other groups, and much more. It offers examples of how to measure the impact of immigration on government revenues and expenditures--estimating one year's fiscal impact in California, New Jersey, and the United States and projecting the long-run fiscal effects on government revenues and expenditures. Also included is background information on immigration policies and practices and data on where immigrants come from, what they do in America, and how they will change the nation's social fabric in the decades to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Scienc, Committee on Population\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0309063566\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780309063562\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Academies Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/14\/1997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.92lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.35h x 6.24w x 1.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Review of Books\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/29\/2001 pg. 57","brand":"National Research Council","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46974490804479,"sku":"9780309063562","price":68.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_56894c20-e3e0-4c99-816b-4970654ec00c.jpg?v=1750875187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-americans-national-research-council-9780309063562","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
