Four economists have taken at the University of Central Oklahoma, their views Thursday on the economic impact of the Oklahoma’s of immigration policy in the wake of the State House Bill 1804. Illegal immigration has heated opinions and rhetoric in Oklahoma. State Rep. Randy Terrill, R-Moore, the author of the state in the fight against illegal immigration, the bill was signed in 2007 and national legislation, Gov. Brad Henry. The Act on November 1 and made it a crime to knowingly hire, house or transport illegal immigrants. “What I want to do is to us a little more light on this problem, which is not really to avoid any controversy or contradictory statements, but to help us understand what is happening and the consequences for our city, our country and our nation “, said Mickey Hepner, associate professor and director of the UCO Public Policy Institute, who conducted the discussion. An economic analysis of the detailed bill of the list of economic pressures on the state was created earlier this week by the Economic Impact Group LLC, economists and Kyle Russell Dean Evans. Dean Evans, and economic affairs. Adjunct Both are professors of economics at UCO were rented by the Oklahoma Bankers Association do, the economic impact of this study. The dean and Evans have only economically, the author of the study in the field of illegal immigration in Oklahoma, said Hepner. “In an ideal world, as far as I am concerned, in a competitive market, to be truly competitive, we are not under any borders,” says Susanne Currier, assistant professor of economics at UCO. “The mobile activity.” Supporters of House Bill 1804 immigrants said they cost undocumented Oklahoma in the United States $ 200 million on an annual basis. HB 1804, reads: “The State will Oklahoma illegal immigration is causing economic hardship and lawlessness in the country, and that illegal immigration encouraged by the government, in that state, public services without verifying the immigration. ” Scott Carter, assistant professor of economics at the University of Tulsa, said the “risky” no legislation investigative evidence to support his statement. He asked for a study on the economic impact has never been in the bill before passage. The answer is of such a study is no economic, “said Carter. Carter said that the contributions of undocumented workers Oklahoma’s for productivity and the State to supplement the state’s gross product exceeds the $ 200 million cost attributed to them by the supporters of HB 1804. There is no quantifiable data on how many workers have of the state, “said Dean. Thus, it creates Evans and three scenarios, the number of illegal workers in Oklahoma - the lowest of 25000 rescue workers documented. “If we have our study, such as the study of Texas … 25,000 workers out of money would have a negative influence on the state of the gross proceeds of approximately 785 million dollars,” he said. ” A runoff 50000 workers would have approximately 1.77 billion dollars, an impact of 1 percent, or a change in the PSA (gross state product). 90000 employees and an evacuation would be approximately $ 3 billion impact on the APS. ” This study focuses on the combination of the outdoor pool, born workers, whether they are documented or not documented naturalized citizens, “said Evans. There are indications that the non-documented workers sometimes leave with families and their social network of friends and other workers documented. “It is, as we believe, a confirmation of the reality in which we are likely to have serious economic consequences,” said Evans. Evans said that the public undocumented workers are not yet at home in Mexico, because HB 1804, but most of the times, of Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and Kansas. “The Oklahoma partner before a serious competitive disadvantage vis-à-vis their counterparts in Texas because of the excessively strict working conditions that relate to this part of the Red River,” said Evans. Carter said that the study does not claim that the state is undocumented workers have the right against the law in Oklahoma, but also the idea that their contributions that do not benefit the economy the rule is wrong. |
