Abstract: Using panel data, we find statistically significant results that indicate that Mexican immigrants, on average, earn 15.37% less than their native counterparts. Previous, "old," Mexican immigrant populations also seemed to also benefit from new Mexican immigrants, earning 15.15% more. However, the effect of Mexican immigrants on native worker wages is ambiguous because we did not analyze the unemployment effect on natives. Column 3 of Table 2 reports the results of the gendered effect. The intercept dummy shows that females earn 28.43% less than males at low levels of immigration. However, as the level of immigration increases the gender wage gap narrows given by the coefficient on the interaction term.
