Limiting the immigration of highly educated professionals is detrimental to the growth of the American economy because it limits the knowledge base of the labor force and because immigrants are always less expensive to hire than native workers.
Immigration is a contentious area of public policy. The debate over immigration by individuals with relatively little education is more contentious than it is over the economic benefits that highly educated immigrants offer to the native-born. Immigration opponents assert that immigrants with less education will undercut the earnings of native workers by bidding for the same jobs and will be more dependent on government programs like health care while paying little to no taxes.
While highly educated immigrants can compete for jobs with native-born workers with comparable skills, they are also thought to create jobs by founding new firms and fostering links to their home countries through trade and investment. They are believed to be more likely to have a favorable net fiscal impact on the host nation as high earners since they contribute more in taxes than they receive in government benefits.
