His conclusion was: The gains to native complements exceed the losses to native substitutes. so that immigrationlike trade and capital flowsare a net boon for the economy. The Senator from California had made the argument that American employees are disadvantaged by cheaper costs from immigrant employees. and that is not so under the express terms of the statute. The bill. S. 2611. does protect U.S. workers and eliminates incentives for employers to hire foreign workers. unless no U.S. worker is available. The bill provides that employers must at least pay the higher of the actual wage paid to other employees with the same skill so that immigrant workers are paid the same or. the prevailing wage for that job. Employers must provide the same working conditions and benefits that are normal to similar jobs. and employers must provide insurance if State workers compensation doesnt cover all the workers. So that under the pending legislation. an employer has the same cost to hire a foreign worker as a U.S. worker.
