What are the effects of immigration on Colorado’s economy? Chris Stiffler, economist for the Colorado Fiscal Institute, laid it out for listeners on KGNU’s “It’s the Economy,” on the Thursday, Nov. 21 edition of the show.

Stiffler has written several papers on the economic effects of immigration that show it’s overwhelmingly positive for Colorado. In fact, Stiffler illustrates how policies that detain and hinder undocumented immigrants from working are cost-inefficient and actually hurt the state’s economy.

The segment of the show featuring Stiffler’s comments can be heard here starting at the 48:00 mark.
