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.



Statement 4: Immigration is a local, city‑wide concern as opposed to being a national, country‑wide concern because immigrants stay in the city where they first arrive.



Statement 5: Technological change will not cause low‑skilled workers to immigrate to another country with a higher standard of living for low‑skilled workers.
