The Economic Impact of Open Borders |  Dr. Daniel Di Martino LIVE at the University of Austin

America can welcome immigrants without embracing open borders. Legal, merit-based immigration grows the economy, while unlimited low-skill migration shrinks it for everyone already here. Open borders accelerate this outflow of money while straining schools, hospitals, and housing. It’s not compassion, it’s economic self-sabotage. -- Dr. Daniel Di Martino is a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, where his research focuses on immigration, selection, assimilation, and highly skilled immigration. Di Martino has appeared on Fox News and CNN and written for USA Today, National Review, City Journal and New York Post, among others. He is a regular speaker on college campuses and events across the country. He sits on the Board of Advisors of Young America’s Foundation’s Center for Entrepreneurship & Free Enterprise, and he is a member of the New Jersey State Advisory Committee to the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. In addition to his economic research on immigration and his media appearances, Di Martino founded the Dissident Project to teach high school students about socialist regimes. Di Martino was born and raised in Venezuela. He arrived in the U.S. in 2016 committed to explaining how socialism destroyed his homeland. Di Martino earned his PhD in economics from Columbia University. -- Young America’s Foundation is the leading organization for young conservatives.
