Giovanni Peri's article on the DACA repeal is published on Econofact
With the recent announcement of repealing DACA, several academics and journalists have weighed in on the potential negative effects of such a policy. The repeal was described by the attorney general as needed to correct the effects of DACA, which, among other issues, “denied jobs to hundreds of thousands of Americans by allowing those same jobs to go to illegal aliens.” Peri analyzes the issue of whether or not this statement has any support in facts and research behind this, explicitly economic-based, justification for repealing DACA.
