...higher wages, shorter hours and better working conditions. Mugabe's response to these events, despite his claims for a better life for all Blacks, was much the same as his conservative predecessors. Worker demands were ignored as the newly independent state quelled strikes and cleared channels for the inflow of foreign capital into Zimbabwe's cheap labor market...
Those colliding statements, both from Southwestern scholars in the field of immigration studies, reflect the controversy that surrounds a seemingly straightforward but highly emotional question: Does the inflow of illegal foreign labor help or hurt the U.S. economy...
...Figures released last week revealed that the current account, which measures trade in goods and services, showed a record deficit of $101.6 billion last year, topping the previous peak of $41.6 billion in 1983. Foreigners have helped finance the trade deficit by investing heavily in the U.S. Because the inflow of foreign money far exceeds American investments abroad, the U.S. may have become a debtor nation in the first quarter of 1985 for the first time since World...
...funds attracted to the U.S. from abroad add to the pool of funds available to finance investment in the country. This year the capital inflow will be enough to offset half of the Government's borrowing. But the current level of capital inflow cannot be sustained. Foreign assets in the U.S. have increased 50% since 1980. Even if U.S. interest rates remain high, foreign investors will eventually become saturated with dollar securities. When the inflow of funds shrinks or stops, investment in the U.S. will decline, and real interest rates here will rise even higher--unless Government borrowing...

That is slightly more than the 15% sought by the industry and its unions. This would be similar to a plan worked out by the Reagan Administration in 1981 that put limits on the number of cars Japanese manufacturers shipped to the U.S. In steel, as in cars, the threat of more restrictive measures by Congress will be a lever in the hands...
