The thesis discusses how researchers are divided on whether low-skilled immigrants impact the labor market and discusses how which economists agree that low-skilled immigrants have a negative fiscal impact on the economy. After the thesis, the authors then divided the labor market and tax impact into two separate discussions and explain each in detail to further support their claim. In the paragraph on labor market effects, Zavodny and Orrenius support their thesis that researchers are divided by explaining the process researchers use to explain whether or not immigrants affect the labor market. After explaining the research process, Zavodny and Orrenius then summarize the facts presented in the article to further explain that immigrants actually contribute to the job market. In the fiscal impact paragraph, a paragraph about how immigrants could impact taxes and taxpayers, they go into detail to support immigrants' claims and how they negatively impact the economy on a tax level. The authors explain to their audience how to determine the fiscal impact of immigrants and then explain, using statistics, how they are a tax drain on taxpayers. Zavodny also explains how the state and local authorities bear the economic problems of immigrants
