Benefits and costs of authorized immigrants to workers, consumers, and the economy are varied. Authorized immigrants have the ability to come to the US and make higher wages than they usually can in there home country. With the legality of their working here they will still pay taxes, and abide by all US laws. This allows for firms to hire workers that will do many of the undesirable jobs most people would not want to do, or are over qualified to do without forcing the firms to operate in the "black market." Labor consumers get benefits that they have more options available to hire. Authorized immigrants could have more specialized education in industries/fields that are not as apparent or as developed in the US. This leads to benefits in the economy as a whole as some of the specialized fields could lead to whole new industries in the US, which equates with more job availability. Along with this, the economy will have a whole new demographic of workers to choose from for hire. The diversity that comes from it can only be beneficial, making the market more competitive overall. Costs of authorized workers are pretty much few, but they are big ones. Some problems question American pride and ability. Some ask, "Why do we need foreign workers in the US anyway?" We are self-sufficient and do not need them regardless if they are legal or not. Although there are benefits many people are against even authorized workers. This causes some problems among workers, there can be tensions between the native-born and foreign-born. Consumers of labor can have problems because with authorized foreign workers sometime firms are required to hire certain races/ethnicities. The only problem being with that is that a firm might be forced to hire a less qualified, productive worker just because they are a certain ethnicity. Costs to the economy as a whole is that some American funds, such as wages made by workers on Visa's are often sent home to another country to support one's family…
In conclusion, I strongly feel that Americans could greatly benefit from adopting some of the immigrant customs discussed in The Immigrant Advantage. Kolker herself could be used as a role model or example for how a family could benefit from some of these traditions, from the money saving habits of the Money Club to the ease of dinner preparation using the Com Thang. I wholeheartedly plan on attempting to make use of available family members whenever it comes time to introducing my child to the world. The knowledge and love that an older family member would be capable of introducing into our home could easily prove invaluable. I also hope that by the time that my children are entering into their college years that I would be able to provide…
I agree that having a diverse group of worker brings many benefits. Immigrant works help both the economy they are working in and the economy they come from. The immigrants will work for less which helps companies spend money on improvement for their companies. The workers then send some of the money they make back to their family in their home country which helps stimulate that economy.…
The benefits of immigration is that it allows us to fill our workforce with people willing to work, which in turn increases production. When immigrants come into this country they normally come to work and live the american dream. This desire, results in a work ethic that in some occasions cannot be matched by US citizens, so jobs that US citizens are unwilling to do are done by immigrants willing to work. This increase in employment generates more revenue for the Government through taxes. The more people in the US working the more money the Gov. will have. Immigration also diversifies our society, unlike any other country. The more diverse our country is the more we will learn about other cultures and judge others less. The cost of immigration is that it can undermine American workers because, immigrants are used to working for lower wages in other countries so when they come to the US they take jobs from americans because they work for less. This leaves many Americans unemployed and unhappy. Also, many immigrants that come into this country do not have much money, so they need Government aid. The increase in immigrants is a huge burden on public programs. Another cost, is that some immigrants come into the US to avoid prosecution from their country. Immigrants like this is a danger to our society and raises our crime rates. I agree with most of the immigration policies such as Arizona’s law that allows police officers to check anyone’s citizenship and report anyone who is illegally in this country. I agree with this policy because anyone in this country illegal is breaking the law and should be treated like a criminal. Im okay with allowing immigrants into this country, I do not want to close the boarders, however there is a right way to do it. A policy I disagree with is denying healthcare to an illegal immigrant. Although they are in the country illegally I do believe every human has the right to healthcare and should be assisted regardless of citizenship or willingness…
As the nation grew, so too did the need for jobs. These jobs were often filled by immigrants. Immigrants helped moved the nation forward, and the nation continued to grow, this created an economic circle.…
An article published in the At Issue anthology What Rights Should Illegal Immigrants Have? tells of undocumented students who have entered the Unites States, graduate, but have no chance to work because of their illegal status. A chance at citizenship is a chance at avoiding poverty. Although some people do not see the issue, they see the millions of legal students that enter college each year, and watch as they receive the chance to achieve their goals. In the end, someone will receive this chance, but they may not take hold of the opportunity. According to the Center for Immigration Studies, statistics show that about 10.2 million U.S. citizens under the age of 35 had not completed college, but just as many illegal immigrants graduate high…
The PRI The World article “How immigrant rights activists fought and won a battle against unjust laws and deportations” by an unknown author describes how immigrants fought and protested against law and deportation. Immigrants went to go protest against deportation in Los Angeles, this happened because of the page act. On June 7, 2016, many immigrants wanted to have an education, but the refugee policies have humans many immigrants so they could be deported and will not be able to enter this country.…
Law enforcement Officers are responsible for protecting life and property, and preserving the peace. They enforce law and maintain order. They work to prevent crimes, investigate complaints and crimes, apprehend violators, and assist in prosecution of criminal. They patrol their assigned areas in cars on foot or horseback, or on motorcycles or bicycles. They respond to accidents, disasters, and emergency situations. They perform peace-keeping tasks, such as resolving family disputes. They testify in court. They use computers to generate leads, spot crime trends and run checks on persons and property. For example the work for a border patrol or customs officer is to keep borders protection and secure.…
This option is widely supported by conservative Americans who believe that immigration creates a burden for American citizens since more people in the country means that spending on education and health care increases. Furthermore, it is argued that many immigrants, especially poor refugees come to the US and are unable to maintain a decent quality of life without receiving aid from the government such as food stamps or welfare. Also, Immigrants can be keeping wages low because they are more willing to work for low wages than American citizens. This especially effects Americans without a high school or college degree who can only work in low-wage, low-talent jobs who struggle because the low-paying jobs are mostly taken up by Immigrants. The amount of immigrants that come into the country can be reduced by placing more border patrol agents at the border, this would provide more jobs for Americans in seek of work. Also, we would need to physically strengthen our southern border, this could also be a source of jobs for Americans. We would also need to deport the more than 11 million Illegal Immigrants that currently reside in the US, deny illegal immigrants social services and health care, except for emergencies, reduce the amount of visas authorized every year and change asylum laws so that immigrants have to apply for asylum in their home country before coming to the US. All of these steps would help to reduce the…
Immigration has been an ongoing issue that has affected many people in the United States today, many immigrants have doubled since the 1960s because of the economic stability in their country. Even though immigration from Mexico has decreased over time there is still a majority of other immigrants in the U.S. The immigration system is broken and needs to be addressed and called for attention because they supercharge the economic benefits in America. An immigration reform that comprehensively addresses these problems like providing a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants living and working in the U.S. A common-sense reform would restore faith and still bring hope to immigrants; this will change America…
The first step in Immigration reform is to limit the number of visas that we issue to immigrants to about 600,000 which will nearly shrink the current number of about 1.1 million in half. The reason to do this will it forces talented citizens in developing countries to stay in their respective countries develop further hence reducing immigration into the United States. The only people we should admit are people who are seeking asylum and refugee in the US because of the current situation in their countries. This will allow us to admit people who legitimately can greatly improve their life and will allow the people who are qualified in their countries to stay there and improve their country further.…
The Immigration Bill has received Royal Assent, introducing a series of reforms to further crack down on illegal migration. It will ensure that the immigration system supports the best interests of the UK and those who play by the rules.…
In the United States we have more relaxed laws when it comes to visiting the U.S, but there aren’t strict laws about leaving the U.S. after visiting. Some people come to the U.S. “visiting” so that they can live here and work towards getting citizenship. That is why we should strengthen our border protection and security, but make it easier to become a citizen legally. That way we can regulate who is coming to the U.S. and know when they leave.…
Signed in 1985, the Schengen Agreement created a single European territory without any internal borders. When it came into force in 1995, the main effect of the agreement was that citizens of signatory states could travel across borders without passports(Gaffey). Thus, it eliminated border checks among its members and also allowed foreign visitors to travel throughout the area using one visa. Currently, once you get a Schengen visa and enter one of the member countries, you can travel within and between them for the next three months (Didjurgis). There are 26 member states. Due to recent terrorist attacks as well as the influx of refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers, some member countries have put up borders; borders that are allowed. The…
