<\/a>Researchers are regularly coming up with studies designed to cast immigration as a panacea for economic stagnation. A new \u201cdiscussion paper<\/a>\u201d by a UK and a US researcher, \u201cSpillovers from Immigrant Diversity in Cities\u201d was described on the Citilab website as proving, \u201cMore Immigration Means Higher Wages for All Workers.
