Yesterday, we talked to the author at the Libertarian Cato Institute about a report showing immigrants of all economic classes contribute more to the U.S.

Treasury than they draw out.

Today, the case that older people live longer when there are more immigrants.

This is from the National Bureau of Economic Research, and it's about the supply of foreign born health care workers, especially those involved in elder care.

Brian McGarry is one of the co-authors of this paper.

Good morning.

Great to be here.

Help me understand this connection, this equation between immigration policy and not dying prematurely.

What did you find?

And so the more immigration that's allowed in that population of immigrants, there's going to be a subset who are health care workers.

And that affects outcomes?

And so it's not necessarily bringing in people who are sort of CEO level.

You're talking about more rank and file health care workers.

And it must be defined as like premature deaths, right?

I mean, we all die in the end, right?
