U.S. President-elect Donald Trump made immigration a cornerstone of his campaign. The question now is what will he actually do? Will he seek to round up and kick 10 million people out of the country on Jan. 21? Will he reconfigure U.S. policy to focus on admitting skilled workers and reducing the number of unskilled migrants?

If democracy is a social contract, why don't we allow everybody who is willing to sign it? Why don't we have open borders for immigration?In their book "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success," Princeton University's Leah Boustan and Stanford University's Ran Abramitzky provide insights from big data to explore how immigration shaped the United States by looking at the economic legacies of immigrants and their children. On this week's encore episode, hosts Luigi Zingales and Bethany McLean talk with Boustan to unpack how immigrants and their progeny have impacted jobs, wages, and housing prices for native-born Americans. Conversely, how do immigrants' countries of origin overcome obstacles to socioeconomic change when many of their most-motivated citizens leave? Can data move the U.S. immigration debate beyond the current border crisis?

In this episode of Political Economy, I sit down with economist Leah Boustan to explore the truth behind the prevailing narratives that surround America's immigration policy debates. Are immigrants truly responsible for job loss among native-born Americans? Does immigration burden the US economy? And do today's immigrants assimilate less rapidly than their predecessors? We'll delve into those questions and more.Leah is a Professor of Economics at Princeton University, where she also serves as the Director of the Industrial Relations Section. Last year, she and Ran Abramitzky wrote the fantastic book Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success.

How should we think about immigration in American life today? How well do today's immigrants do—economically and culturally—compared to the immigrants of previous eras? To discuss these questions, we are joined by Princeton economist Leah Boustan. Drawing on rigorous analysis of data for her important co-authored work in economic history Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success, Boustan explains a perhaps surprising fact: despite all of the differences between contemporary America and that of past generations, immigrants today are faring similarly to previous immigrants in terms of how quickly their earnings grow after they arrive in the country, and especially in terms of how well their children are doing in their own upward mobility and earnings. Moreover, Boustan explains how today's immigrants are assimilating culturally in much the same way as in earlier eras. Boustan considers the challenges and benefits of immigration in the context of the broader economy—and pushes back against arguments for the restricting of immigration that rely excessively on analysis and data that consider only very short-term implications. Above all, she argues that immigration, then and now, has been in the United States an astonishing story of success.

Our speakers will be economists Ran Abramitzky from Stanford and Garett Jones from George Mason. Ran is the author of Streets of Gold: American's Untold Story of Immigrant Success and Garett wrote the book The Culture Transplant: How Migrants Make the Economies They Move to a Lot Like the Ones They Left. Both speakers are pro-immigration, but Garett wants us to focus our efforts on recruiting immigrants with skills. Garett believes that the success of immigrants' descendants is a function of the culture imbued from the old country. In addition, the immigrants social and cultural mores will affect America's social mores as well, so be very careful who you let in.

We are thrilled to welcome Professors Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan to the podcast to discuss their groundbreaking new book on immigration in America! Ran is the Stanford Federal Credit Union Professor of Economics at Stanford and Leah is a Professor of Economics at Princeton, where she also serves as the Director of the Industrial Relations Section. They are on the forefront of economic research on immigration and just published Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success. In this episode, we break down the three immigration myths that the book addresses. First, there is the false story about the speediness of the American Dream and how class mobility occurs (or doesn't) over generations. Second, the data tell a counterintuitive story about how the “Ellis Island generation” of immigrants compares to current immigrants to the United States. Third, a common political argument is that new immigrants make present Americans worse off economically – a theory the data debunk. Beyond these myths, we also touch on several other topics. Professors Abramitzky and Boustan walk through their methodology and the data they collected from the census and Ancestry.com. They also explain why the immigrant story has been consistent for generations in America, despite the fact that immigration today occurs in a vastly different America with modern technology, more resources, and immigrants from new countries. The story that the book tells also is one of optimism, which differs from that told by historians. Much to Sam's delight, we discuss why and how the history and economics disciplines tell different stories about American immigration. Lastly, we talk about common political criticisms of immigration and how this book deals with those, especially when opposition comes from emotional arguments rather than facts.

Leah Boustan and Ran Abramitzky join host Loren Steffy to discuss their new book, "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success." The writers discuss the success and economic impacts of immigrants in the United States. 

Nim Stant came to the US with $300 in her pocket and limited English speaking abilities but through hard work and refusal to give up,  has managed to create the life of her dreams.  Nim did not allow her lack of cultural awareness or heavy accent to stand in the way of her success. In this episode, Nim shares easy steps we all can follow to get clear about what we want in life, and how we can go about achieving our goals.  Through self education, reading many, many books about self improvement and self empowerment, Nim was able to get clear about her vision for her future and eventually succeed as an author, entrepreneur,  motivational speaker, and philanthropist.  Nim has managed to accomplish so much since the start of her immigration journey, and has not only inspired individuals through her business and media interviews, but she also gives back.   Nim is currently supporting charitable organizations in the US like the Shields and Stripes, which provides rehabilitation for mental and physical wounds to first responders and military veterans.   Nim also supports building playgrounds around the world through the Be Good , Do Good, and Spread good non profit organization in Phoenix AZ. Nim plans on supporting the building of hospitals in Nicaragua for burn victims after she interviewed Vivian Pellas, who was a burn victim herself and now on a mission to build hospitals for burn victims.  To learn more about Nim, visit transforminganxiety.com/54 Follow Dr. Sekandari on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_nafisa_sekandariFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.sekandariJoin private FB Group Transforming Anxiety: https://www.facebook.com/groups/transforminganxietyWatch Video Recording on YoutubeTo learn more about Dr. Sekandari's Transforming  OCD Course, a self paced, online course that helps you manage and control your OCD from the comfort and privacy of your own home, visit https://www.transforminganxiety.com/ocdtraining

For centuries, America has lured millions of immigrants here with dreams of rising from rags to riches in a short amount of time. But the authors of “Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success,” say that story is mostly a myth. The authors, Stanford professor Ran Abramitzky and Princeton professor Leah Boustan bust other popular opinions about immigration, such as the idea that immigrants “take all the jobs,” “refuse to assimilate,” and pose all kinds of threats to the “American way of life.” Abramitzky and Boustan spent years combing through data that painted different narratives than most Americans are used to hearing. They will join us to bust myths about immigrants and share what the research really says about immigration, past and present. Guests: Leah Boustan, professor of economics and director of the Industrial Relations Section, Princeton University Ran Abramitzky, professor of economics and Senior Associate Dean for the Social Sciences, Stanford University

GrowthChat is a podcast on the social and cultural journey of humankind, hosted by Marco Lecci and Sascha O. Becker. In this episode we chat with Leah Boustan and Ran Abramitzky about their book "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success'”. Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Using the tools of modern data analysis and ten years of pioneering research, new evidence is provided about the past and present of the American Dream, debunking myths fostered by political opportunism and sentimentalized in family histories.

第二代移民的成功故事一直是美國歷史的一部分。研究人員查閱了1880年的人口普查記錄，發現父親是低收入移民的男性成年後，比在美國出生的低收入男性的兒子賺得更多。 由史丹佛大學的拉恩·阿布拉姆茨基教授和普林斯頓大學的利亞·布斯坦教授兩位經濟學家合著的新書《遍地黃金——美國不為人知的移民成功故事》(Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success) 利用大數據分析，看到一個世紀後有同樣的模式。1980年前後，來自墨西哥、印度、巴西以及幾乎所有其他國家的男性所生子女的收入都超過了在美國本土出生的男性所生子女。

Dr. Leah Boustan is a Professor of Economics at Princeton University, where she also serves as the Director of the Industrial Relations Section. She is also the co-director of the Development of the American Economy Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research. Her research lies at the intersection between economic history and labor economics. Her latest book is titled Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success.

Americans do not always have a favorable opinion of immigrants, but is immigration a net positive for both immigrants and native-born citizens? Princeton University professor Leah Boustan is the author of a new book called “Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success” and joins the show to discuss why children of immigrants from around the world consistently succeed in climbing the economic ladder and how immigration expands our country's economic pie. Then, Michigan ACLU staff attorney Jay Kaplan joins the show to discuss the Michigan Supreme Court's latest decision barring discrimination based on sexual orientation.

The myths and misperceptions about immigrants in the US are far and wide. Some people believe they're dangerous, take American jobs, or that they're different from previous waves of immigrants. But what's the real story of America's immigrants...from Ellis Island to today? Dr. Ran Abramitzsky from Stanford University is the co-author of the new book, "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success", which shows how immigrants from different areas of the world and across generations have remarkably similar stories. Dr. Abramitzsky joins Inside Sources to talk about why and explain how the children of immigrants quickly climb the ladder of success in America. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sonia Martinez immigrated here from Venezuela as a trained pharmacist ready to do what it takes to build a business.  She started as a pharmacy cashier and worked her way up while taking the necessary U.S. license exams.  Through sheer determination and vision, she and her partner Ivette Suarez built up Marco Drugs to serve and revitalize the community.

Economic historian Leah Boustan joins Cardiff to discuss her new book, "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success", co-authored with Ran Abramitsky. This wonderful book complicates and in some cases contradicts many of the prevailing myths and impressions of how immigration works, and it does so using a fascinating and cutting-edge approach to gathering data. Leah and Cardiff talk about how modern immigration trends resemble those of America's prior immigration peak from 1880 to 1920, the economic mobility of immigrants and their children, the ways immigrants influence their adopted culture (and are influenced by it), and much more.

In Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success (PublicAffairs, 2022), Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan reveal the true story of immigration and the American economy, debunking myths perpetuated by the media and inflamed by political rhetoric. Through this authoritative account of the historical record and important new findings, Abramitzky and Boustan will help shape our thinking and policies about the fraught topic of immigration with findings such as:  ·Where you come from doesn't matter. The children of immigrants from El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala today are as likely to be as successful as the children of immigrants from Great Britain and Norway 150 years ago.  ·Children of immigrants do better economically than children of those born in the U.S. – a pattern that has held for more than a century. ·The children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially children of poor immigrants, are more upwardly mobile than the children of US-born residents.  ·Immigrants today, especially those from groups accused of lack of assimilation (such as Mexicans and those from Muslim countries) actually assimilate fastest.  ·Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways and staves off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population.  ·Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the U.S. born, the people politicians are trying to protect. More, not less, immigration will spur the American economy.  ·Severe restrictions on immigration reduce innovation by blocking entry to future scientists, artists, and entrepreneurs.  Using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employing big data and algorithms, Abramitzky and Boustan are like dedicated family genealogists but millions of times over. They provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the "golden era" of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided.

In eras past, the United States welcomed immigrant laborers to build and support the country's infrastructure and innovators and entrepreneurs to advance its businesses and technology. And yet immigration is a hot-button issue today, with many saying it's a drain on the U.S. economy. Ran Abramitzky, a professor at Stanford University, and Leah Boustan, a professor at Princeton, looked at decades of data to understand the real impact that immigrants and their descendants have on America today. Their findings dispel several modern-day myths and suggest that not just political but also corporate leaders need to push for more rational rhetoric and policies. Abramitzky and Boustan are the authors of "Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success."

According to Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan, immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Join us when Ran Abramitzky and Leah Boustan examine their book Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employ big data and algorithms, provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the “golden era” of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.

In this episode, I had a conversation with Jorge Ferraez — A Corporate Latino who immigrated to the U.S. from Mexico in hopes of expanding the success of his publications: Latino Leaders Magazine. With a mix of passion and hustle, Jorge has become a successful businessman, leader, and publisher. He shared some details about his upbringing, his experience going into business with family, the pivotal conversations and networks that happened throughout his career, and his thoughts on our current generation as someone who comes from a hustle culture.

How do immigrants to America today compare to immigrants in the past? Are immigrants really able to come over and quickly find success? Are immigrants today assimilating at a different rate than previous generations?  Economists Leah Boustan and Ran Abramitzky join the show to discuss all this and more in their new book, Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success. We discuss how today's immigrants compare with the past, how the second generation differs from the first, and what the modern political discussion around immigration really needs.

Immigration is one of the most fraught, and possibly most misunderstood, topics in American social discourse—yet, in most cases, the things we believe about immigration are based largely on myth, not facts. Using the tools of modern data analysis and ten years of pioneering research, Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success (Public Affairs, 2022) provides new evidence about the past and present of the American Dream, debunking myths fostered by political opportunism and sentimentalized in family histories. They make a powerful case for four key facts: Children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially those of poor immigrants, do better economically than children of U.S.-born residents. Immigrants accused of lack of assimilation (such as Mexicans today and the Irish in the past) actually assimilate fastest. Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways and staves off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population.

Using the tools of modern data analysis and ten years of pioneering research, Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success (Public Affairs, 2022) provides new evidence about the past and present of the American Dream, debunking myths fostered by political opportunism and sentimentalized in family histories. They make a powerful case for four key facts: Children of immigrants from nearly every country, especially those of poor immigrants, do better economically than children of U.S.-born residents. Immigrants accused of lack of assimilation (such as Mexicans today and the Irish in the past) actually assimilate fastest. Immigration changes the economy in unexpected positive ways and staves off the economic decline that is the consequence of an aging population. Closing the door to immigrants harms the economic prospects of the U.S.-born—the people politicians are trying to protect. Using powerful story-telling and unprecedented research employing big data and algorithms, interviewee Leah Boustan and her co-author Ran Abramitzky are like dedicated family genealogists but millions of times over. They provide a new take on American history with surprising results, especially how comparable the “golden era” of immigration is to today, and why many current policy proposals are so misguided.

Join our conversation with Steve Grau about his journey from immigrant to successful entrepreneur. Steve and his family emigrated from Ukraine in 1989, arriving in San Francisco with $80 to their name. He's now the founder and CEO of Royal Ambulance and a long-time member of our Business Circle. With the help of an interest-free business loan from us, he's grown the company into the Bay Area's leading non-emergency medical service. Steve became interested in health care when he took a hands-on role caring for his grandfather after a series of debilitating strokes. Witnessing how emotional support impacted physical healing, he was inspired to leave the tech industry to start an ambulance service that would make sure patients were not only safe and comfortable, but also had a positive, uplifting experience. Steve has built the company by focusing on workforce development — hiring people who are driven to help others and putting them in a position to succeed. Food for Thought is our series of conversations with experts among our Business Circle community who share insights and expertise from their field. Their experience will help you navigate a world that has become harder to predict than ever.

Amy, who you probably know as the Tiger Mom, is a law professor at Yale and the other of several books, including "The Triple Package" and "Political Tribes." In this episode we discuss the experience of being an immigrant, of being a minority within a minority, and the importance of, in Amy’s words, “turning being an outsider into a source of strength,” not victimhood. For three clips of my conversation with Amy — on how college kids these days are terrified of debate; on how to be resilient in the face of bigotry; and on the courage of the individual in the face of woke conformity — head over to our YouTube page.

Kathryn interviews ‘Forty Under 40' Instructor Marc Demetriou, author of “Lessons From My Grandfather: Wisdown for Success in Business and Life”. An Ellis Island immigrant, Demetriou's grandfather came to a new country at age 16 with nothing but a bag full of dreams, courage, wit, and the desire to succeed. Demetriou shares 15 timeless success and fulfillment principles handed down from his grandfather. Demetriou is featured in The NYTimes, The Huffington Post and the Associated Press. Kathryn also interviews The Economist's Cuba Correspondent Roseann Lake, author of “Leftover in China: The Women Shaping the World's Next Superpower”. Known as leftovers if they fail to marry by age twenty-five, these women represent a China in which gender roles have not evolved as vigorously as society itself, and where new professional opportunities have made women less willing to compromise their careers or concede to marriage for the sake of it.
