The Economic Policy Institute Defends Illegal Foreign Labor Competition

By Jared Culver, Legal Analyst

The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) describes itself as “a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank working for the last 30 years to counter rising inequality, low wages and weak benefits for working people, slower economic growth, unacceptable employment conditions, and a widening racial wage gap.” However, they have released an immigration enforcement “FAQ” which opposes both worksite enforcement and E-Verify.
