Studies of the effects of immigration into the United States from Mexico tend to find that the big winners are the immigrants themselves. Explain this result in terms of the example in the question above. How might things change if the border were open, with no restrictions on immigration?
Diego is the oldest son of Mexican parents who immigrated to the United States less than five years ago. Diego's high school teachers perceive him to be fairly intelligent, but his SAT scores are low, and he is having trouble getting into college. Diego's mother angrily claims that "intelligence tests are biased against Hispanics." Diego's father sadly counters, "it's not the tests that are biased; it's American education that is biased." Carefully explain why you would agree or disagree with the comments made by each parent.
