Περίληψη :I analyze the impact of immigration that took place during the 2000- 2009 decade in the United States and the labor market outcomes for the American workers. For this purpose, I use a search and matching model where I assume there are two types of workers, the high-skilled and the low-skilled workers and two types of nations, the native and the immigrant (foreign-born) workers. We have a different search cost between immigrants and natives and capital-skill complementarity. Within this analysis, it is easy to notice that the skilled-biased immigration influx increases the welfare of the natives. More particularly, the low-skilled native workers acquire extra of this immigration influx both in terms of employment and wages, the high-skilled native workers win in terms of employment as well, but we have to make further assumption to see what happens in terms of wages. Successively, in order to see what happens in the wage of the unskilled native workers when they are not allowed to bargain over their wage, I assume the presence of a minimum wage, where this is linked to the wage of the skilled workers (natives and immigrants) and it is equal to a fixed proportion of the average wage of the economy.
