Breitbart Business Digest: Lower Immigration, Higher Productivity? History Says Yes.

Article excerpt

A Breitbart economics column challenges the conventional wisdom that immigration restrictions harm productivity, citing historical examples suggesting lower immigration can correlate with higher productivity gains. The piece opens by noting skepticism toward Yale Budget Lab research on Trump's immigration policies, implying the institute's findings may be predictably biased against restrictions. The column argues that historical precedent contradicts the assumption that reduced immigration automatically decreases economic output, though the specific evidence and data supporting this claim are not detailed in the available text.
