In the first article, The Economic Benefits of Comprehensive Immigration Reform, Raúl Hinojosa-Ojeda argues that if the U.S. government moved from an "enforcement-only policy" to reform global immigration, both individuals would be born in America and immigrants would increase benefits. The comprehensive immigration reform that Ojeda describes “legalizes current unauthorized immigrants and creates flexible legal limits on future immigration in the context of full labor rights…” (Ojeda page 175). Ojeda also argues that current U.S. policy creates a minimum wage, and if undocumented immigrants gain citizenship, the minimum wage will increase, raising the wages of all workers. The wage increase cited in the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 states that comprehensive immigration reform would increase consumer consumption and wages and increase job creation and tax revenues. This is mainly based on the concept that the IRCA was implemented during a recession, but was still able to increase wages and investments made by immigrants. Ojeda explains, through the example of IRCA, that it is estimated that a comprehensive reform, over 10 years, would create $1.5 trillion in US gross domestic product (GDP) (176). However, they add that one of the problems with the IRCA is the lack of soft limits set on the number of workers allowed to enter the United States. In 1990, therefore, US labor demands were not met. Demographic change in Mexico is labeled as one of the main reasons for the increase in the number of immigrants coming to the United States from Mexico. Ojeda says that, over the past forty years, a third of immigrants have arrived because of Mexico's high birth rates.
