Luke Thomas sits down with Wharton professor Zeke Hernandez to bust the biggest immigration myths, tackle wage‑impact fears, and explain how outdated U S visa quotas fuel illegal entries. They cover new research showing low‑skill immigrants slightly raise native wages, why refugees often integrate faster than expected, and how 1990‑era caps leave zero permanent visas for farm workers.
