Research and find specific examples of immigrants working as a) substitutes for U.S. workers and b) compliments to U.S. workers. (provide links)
Question: create a supply and demand graph illustrating the scenario, the shock, and the predicted effects on wages and employment
If immigrants begin to compliment the workforce of US then there would be large number of workforce pool in the market and hence both workforce will exist as a compliment to each other instead of being substitute.
The immigrant workforce will complement each other because it is not possible to replace US workforce or compete against them and also it is difficult to beat the law, which poses a lot of restriction on immigrant workers.
Due to the workforce being complimentary to each other the increase in workforce will complement the US workforce. The wages will tend to remain stable however the employment will suffer as the US worker and immigrants can be used simultaneously.
