💥 What’s the Big Deal:
Immigration fuels economic growth, but flawed policies hinder its full potential 📊. Immigrants contribute to workforce growth, innovation, and tax revenues, while having neutral to positive effects on wages 💵. However, restrictive labor rights leave immigrant workers vulnerable, harming all workers in shared markets 📉. Policy reforms—such as granting full labor rights and reducing reliance on temporary visas—would empower workers, strengthen industries, and create equitable growth 💼. For Pacific regions, inclusive policies could bolster labor markets, diversify innovation, and promote regional resilience .
