how does immigration affect the labor market 
the effects of immigration are difficult to measure precisely due to the size and complexity of the modern economy the classical model of economics predicts that high levels of immigration may cause wages to fall due to an increased supply of labor however some studies suggest that immigration can also have a positive effect on aggregate demand depending on the skillset of the new arrivals because new workers are also consumers the research found that immigration can increase the demand for labor as well as the supply 8
