Immigration and the earnings of youth in the U.S..
"This article reports findings that have emerged from an effort made at statistically measuring the effects of immigration on the earnings of U.S.-born youth.  The presence of immigrants arriving before 1965 has a positive impact on youth earnings.  Recently arrived immigrants impact negatively, however.  These results are consistent with recent findings that the skill level of immigrants arriving within the last two decades is lower relative to that of immigrants arriving earlier.  The results also show that the negative effects diminish as the youth ages, reflecting skill acquisition and job mobility of the young worker into jobs less vulnerable to competition from immigrant workers."
