We Wanted Workers: Unraveling the Immigration Narrative

Alright, this book, the racism? The judgement? Odd for a writer who is an immigrant himself, but not so odd seeing that he is quite privileged.

Explanations are quite reasonable here and there, for example the culture enclaves. But his prejudices are way too present. Also way too much theorizing instead of proof.

Borjas also theorizes a lot without acknowledging important aspects. For example the fact that he states that immigrants cannot say they earn less due to discrimination, without acknowledging different groups vulnerable to this discrimination. He ONLY acknowledges Korean and Indian immigrants. Very disappointing.
