WHO states that immigrants and refugees
do not bring exotic diseases to Europe.
Therefore, they do not pose a public
health risk or endanger health systems

very low. In addition, when the COVID19 pandemic began, the United States
closed the borders to its immigrants to
prevent disease transmission, but as the
pandemic progressed, experts realized

negatively affect public health by
contributing to overcrowding on both
sides of the border. However, before

Immigrants take jobs from
native-born residents
Undocumented immigrants
typically
occupy the lowest rung of employment,
physically demanding jobs such as fish
gutting,
fieldwork,
construction,
agriculture, and domestic services. Studies
show that low-skilled immigrant workers
are paid more than in their country of
origin. While natives occupy jobs that
require work authorization and English
language skills. The number of available
jobs depends on countless economic
factors and is never stable. The so-called
displacement effect, which refers to
immigrant workers pushing native-born
U.S. workers out of the labor market, is
rarely observed in practice and is always
very small when it is detected.
