The statements relate to immigration or inequity as it relates to immigration. Identify each statement as either true or false. Statement 1: Countries with even slightly higher standards of living should expect an influx of immigration from their neighboring countries if those countries have a lower standard of living. Statement 2: There is empirical evidence that immigration leads to large increases in unemployment, which causes wages to drop drastically. Statement 3: As a potential solution to an influx of immigration, Case, Fair, and Oster (2012) cite a study by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) stating that free trade can help to reduce inequity, thereby reducing the need for immigration.
