The Ottaviano and Peri data ... classify ... high school juniors and seniors as part of the "high school dropout" workforce. Their finding of immigrant-native complementarity disappears if the analysis excludes these high school juniors and seniors.
Things that seem too good to be true usually aren’t.

Second: You can make a tax deductible contribution via VDARE by clicking here. (Paypal and credit cards accepted, including recurring "subscription" donations.) UPDATE: Don't try this at the moment.
Third: send money via the Paypal-like Google Wallet to my Gmail address (that's isteveslrATgmail.com -- replace the AT with a @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Here's the Google Wallet FAQ. From it: "You will need to have (or sign up for) Google Wallet to send or receive money. If you have ever purchased anything on Google Play, then you most likely already have a Google Wallet. If you do not yet have a Google Wallet, don’t worry, the process is simple: go to wallet.google.com and follow the steps." You probably already have a Google ID and password, which Google Wallet uses, so signing up Wallet is pretty painless.
You can put money into your Google Wallet Balance from your bank account and send it with no service fee.
Or you can send money via credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AmEx, Discover) with the industry-standard 2.9% fee. (You don't need to put money into your Google Wallet Balance to do this.)
Google Wallet works from both a website and a smartphone app (Android and iPhone -- the Google Wallet app is currently available only in the U.S., but the Google Wallet website can be used in 160 countries).
Or, once you sign up with Google Wallet, you can simply send money via credit card, bank transfer, or Wallet Balance as an attachment from Google's free Gmail email service. Here's how to do it.
(Non-tax deductible.)
Fourth: if you have a Wells Fargo bank account, you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Wells Fargo SurePay. Just tell WF SurePay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). (Non-tax deductible.)
Fifth: if you have a Chase bank account (or, theoretically,other bank accounts), you can transfer money to me (with no fees) via Chase QuickPay (FAQ). Just tell Chase QuickPay to send the money to my ancient AOL email address (steveslrATaol.com -- replace the AT with the usual @). If Chase asks for the name on my account, it's Steven Sailer with an n at the end of Steven. (Non-tax deductible.)

Great post Steve, this is why its so much fun to visit your site.
The MSM, so fond of deconstructing anything to do with Western culture, will not be rushing to publish Borjas' deconstruction of the Ottaviano and Peri data hitpiece, even though it would fit their template of just mindlessly publishing other people's work instead of doing some research for themselves.
It's all about externalities, and most of the externalities produced by immigrants can't be measured by "economists".
Just in case anyone at this site isn't aware of it, Robert Rector calculates that low-IQ third world minorities extract a net cost to the treasury of $19,588 per household per year:

The economists are also not able to account for crime or higher levels of social spending (without corresponding increases in tax revenue). Or, the long term consequences of a 2nd generation of immigrants no longer willing to work 15 hours a day for 4$/hour and resort to crime.
For decades the MSM has been putting the blame for increasing wage inequality on free trade while ignoring the actual cause -- immigration.
I suspect that the MSM is dominated by open borders protectionists.
Who benefits from all this? Who owns the MSM?
