Streets of Gold ft. Leah Boustan & Ran Abramitzky Podcasts May 25 Written By Jeremiah Johnson How do immigrants to America today compare to immigrants in the past? Are immigrants really able to come over and quickly find success? Are immigrants today assimilating at a different rate than previous generations? Economists Leah Boustan and Ran Abramitzky join the show to discuss all this and more in their new book, Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success. We discuss how today's immigrants compare with the past, how the second generation differs from the first, and what the modern political discussion around immigration really needs.
