Elasticity Of Immigration
The main idea of this paper is to show the major points and key aspects that are provided in this article. I will share my point of view on how illegal immigration relates to elasticity. First, illegal immigration is a very broad subject and concept that we see and experience in everyday life. Sometimes when we refer to illegal immigrants we think about Mexicans, but that is not where all the unauthorized residents come from. Illegal immigrants come from all around the world, but Mexico has always been one of the largest contributors of illegal immigration. Back in 2014, Mexico made up 52% of all unauthorized immigrants, though their numbers have been declining in recent years. This issue has been one the most popular and common difficulties that the US has faced throughout the years.
The question that we must ask is if illegal immigration is ever going to stop. The article that I chose …show more content…
for this assignment says that if immigration cannot be stopped, maybe it can be managed.
But can anything be done about illegal immigration? Over the past twenty years the US federal government has spent more than two hundred billion dollars on immigration enforcement. The solution to this problem might lie in a different direction. An idea that could be a solution to this problem is perhaps creating an open access between the US and Mexico that allows a formation of a legal path for the low-skilled Mexicans seeking work in the US. This plan has been tested before through a law that was created and enforced years before. This plan was known as the Bracero Program, and it consisted of giving Mexico a certain quantity of temporary work visas.
Elasticity mainly refers to when the consumer or the producer makes a change on their demand or on the amount supplied in response to price or income
changes Illegal or unauthorized people living in the US are not always a problem for the economy of the country. Illegal immigrants might contribute to a big part of the US economy. We are able to see this by some industries or companies that hire illegal immigrants to do mainly hard work and in most cases these companies do not pay them what they really deserve to be payed which means that illegal immigrants are working for a really low payment rate. But how can we compare elasticity to illegal immigration? In the article another idea that is being represented, or shown, is that employers would have to pay a fee if they want Mexican migrants to work for them, and this would lead many employers to chose American workers over the immigrants. If we compare employees as if they were products or services then we are able to notice that the employers would earn a bigger quality of demand by choosing the American worker over the Mexican migrant. If the employer would pick the Mexican migrant he would have to pay a fee, which is a type of tax. This would make this product more expensive for the consumer which leads us to have a decrease in the demand of the product now that the price of this good is costing more to be produced. But if, instead, the employer picks over the American worker the demand of this product will shift up because it is going to be cheaper to produce the good, which will make the product less expensive as well. Now that we do not have to pay a fee or tax for the good to be produced by the Mexican migrant the employer is going to be willing to hire more Americans, so there will be more workers at a cheaper price.
Immigration in elasticity might be a very broad subject to focus on but we will definitely be able to find a way to compare this too. But hiring a worker for a lower price than others will obviously make a huge impact in the demand and supply of this product that will be made. Having an elasticity of demand higher is going to lead us to a lower tax rate and it is also going to cause an increase in the sales. Finally, it is very important for a producer to realize what would happen to his total revenue at the time of producing a good because it will surely impact the amount they need to have of a product and their revenues.
