Economist and author Benjamin Powell visited U of L’s College of Business Feb. 17 to give a lecture on the topic he has been dedicated to for over a decade: the economics of immigration.
As a currently touchy subject, students found his fresh economic point of view on the topic interesting. One of the biggest issues Americans have with letting immigrants into our country is the misconception they are bringing down our economy and are taking away our jobs. Powell proved to his audience that letting them in is actually beneficial to our nation.
