Labor integration explains U.S. success

The U.S. outperforms Western Europe on immigrant employment, fiscal contribution, crime outcomes, and second‑generation mobility because American policy and labor markets allow newcomers to work and integrate more effectively. Copying European restrictionist fixes (like Denmark’s restrictions) risks making those American advantages worse rather than better. — If true, this reframes immigration debates away from symbolic restrictionism toward concrete labor‑market and integration policies that determine social and fiscal outcomes.
