A policy analyst at the Migration Policy Institute, Batalova addresses concerns that skilled immigration measures passed by Congress since 1990 have had a negative impact on earnings of US-born skilled workers and professionals. The problem will continue to worsen, she says, because importing cheap foreign labor has been accompanied by defunding US schools that might otherwise train native specialists. She looks at the history, demographics, earnings competition, gender, and the future.

More than 1,000,000 skilled immigrant workers--including Indian and Chinese scientists and engineers--and their families are competing for 120,000 permanent U.S. resident visas each year. The sizable imbalance is likely to fuel a "reverse brain-drain," with skilled workers returning to their ......
