We had hearings in our committees that dealt with the question of the impact of large numbers of foreign workers on the wages of American workers. It is not. I think. subject to dispute. At the current rate we are going. at the current rate of immigration. legal and illegal. wages of lower income Americans are being adversely affected. Professor Borjas at Harvard. who has written a most authoritative technical book on immigration at the Kennedy School. has said it has brought down the wage of lowincome workers 8 percent. That is a lot. That is a lot. an 8percent decline in wages.
