The Real Cost of
Immigration
Immigration’s
Impact On The Environment, On Health Care And On Low Wage Workers!
(Washington, D.C.) -- The PBS program,
To The Contrary has announced it will offer, free of charge,
DVD copies of its three-part series on immigration’s impact on
various aspects of US life: on the environment, on America’s
health care system and on low-wage workers. This fact-based
coverage examines how the record influx of new residents is
affecting natural resources, wages for low-income workers and an
already-stressed health care system. This educational product is
distributed free of charge to those looking to learn more about
the true impact of immigration, as it is rarely covered elsewhere
by US media.
For example, coverage of immigration’s impact on the health care
system included the fact that two-thirds of Florida’s hospitals
are running deficits, largely due to health care they must offer
for free to immigrant workers and their families.
To The Contrary's coverage of immigration’s impact of the
environment explained that immigrants to the US, who mainly come
from poor countries with small environmental footprints, become
high-end consumers who leave large environmental footprints. So
it’s not just the numbers of immigrants coming here---increasing
environmental footprint exponentially.
In
the piece on low-income workers, To The Contrary explained
that since 80% of immigrants to the United States do not have high
school degrees, they are driving up competition for low-wage jobs
and driving down wages for low-income Americans.
To The Contrary’s special coverage aired nationally on
PBS. Please submit your requests via e-mail to:

Please be sure to include the name of your organization, how
many copies you would like to receive, and a brief explanation of
who will see video. We are happy to consider requests for
multiple copies of the video for re-distribution to educational
groups, students, conferences or interested individuals.
