Immigration Calculations examines the effects of immigration on our economy. The film takes a look at four Bay Area immigrants at different levels of the socioeconomic ladder -- a Mexican single mother and entrepreneur, an African chemist, and an Indian couple working in the high-tech sector -- through the eyes of economists and experts. The program goes beyond the controversy to dispel misconceptions and deliver insight into the economic impact of immigration.
