Immigration Issues

Over the years the coupled States has been called a nation of immigrants. The fact that the States is a melting kitty for so many different cultures, races, and religions makes it unique in the world. The in the rawcomers, both legitimate and illegal, fill labor shortages and provide new business opportunities. History shows they too catch ideas, vigor, and ambition. However, rising immigrant considers and messy in-migration policies have accommodate a serious problem to gain control of.Although immigrants have contributed to the States, the regime should reform latest immigration policies and limit immigrants flow at present because of the economics and the large population problem. Kofi Annan in her words on International Flows of public states that we must approach the issues of immigration with the strong ethical compass. Jagdish Bhagwati asserts that while ever-changing immigration policies we should seek benefits for all. I disagree with both of them.American p olitics should initiative of all seek benefits for native citizens and local economy and in that location is no place for ethical compass in effective immigration policies that forget benefit the economy and citizens. The new immigrants have caused economic problems in America today. Each decade of new immigrants has done worse than the last economically. fit in to a study released by the Center for in-migration Studies in Washington, The tuition levels of newly arriving immigrants have not kept pace with those of native-born Americans.As c beers that contract advanced education continue to drive the job securities industry, it is no confusion that many immigrants are finding it increasingly difficult to join the economic mainstream (Camarota). The results of the lower education ripple effect do not signal well for recent immigrants. Those who arrived in the 1980s have remained at an economic disadvantage, and are still less likely to own homes or become citizens than the i mmigrants of the previous(prenominal) three decades, says the study (Camarota).Several decades ago, many immigrants entered America as skilled workers and alter the labor shortages however, the majority of the immigrants today are unskilled workers, and the labor market is almost full because of the machine utilization and the network development. The problem is that current immigration policies give more consideration to those unskilled workers. For example, it is easier to get a visa through a family member than through an American employer. In fact, there are only 140,000 employment-based mmigrant visas given out distributively year, comparison to unlimited family-based visas (Visa Types for Immigrants). Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) data show that those new arrivals usually are from the growing countries, and most of them come to join death family members. Most of those new immigrants usually have to face many troubles such(prenominal) as language problems and cultural adjustments when they arrive in America. Social armyage has to pay benefits to them because of their low income.Thus, the majority of them have low education there is no doubt that they get out become a public burden. If the political relation does not change the messy immigration policies, the economic problem leave get worse. So, I suggest that the American presidential term should expand the number of employment-based immigrant visas. This will let more educated and determined people into the country, who will boost the economy by providing innovations in fields of science and technology.Then, the regime should limit the number of family-based visas, so those skilled immigrant workers wouldnt be able to bring their unskilled relatives. Another economical problem that immigrants from developing countries bring is that they propel large amounts of national wealth to their home countries. As Kofi Annan in her lecture on International Flows of Humanity states, mi grant workers in developed countries pull at least $88 billion back to their countries of origin-more than those same developing countries received in official development aid (Annan).If American government wont do anything about it, the numbers will grow faster with each year. I suggest that to compensate the breathing out of national wealth, American government should stop sending financial aid to developing countries. Unlimited immigration will cause a large population problem. The large population in India has caused increasing unemployment, unsafe environments, and a lack of resources. Following their experience, America should be on the alert that continued rising immigrant numbers will lead to a large population one day.It is estimated that if immigration continues at a current levels, the nations population will increase from 301 million today to 468 million in 2060 a 167 million (56 percent) increase (Camarota). Immigrants plus their descendents will account for 105 mill ion (63 percent) of the increase (Camarota). Kofi Annan mentions in her article The more we try to deal with migration simply by clamping down on it with tighter adjoin controls, the more we find that human rights are sacrificed-on the journey, at the border, and inside host countries. Such increase in the population will cause congestion, sprawl, traffic, pollution, loss of open spaces, and greenhouse gas emissions. So, tightening border controls will oculus much less people than these problems. To do that America should focus on what kind of nation it wants to be uneducated, dependent, and unmotivated or united, skilled, and progressive. Immigration policies that embody today People that come here as+ live in closed communities Kofi Anan addresses the issue of immigrants discrimination in U. S. a lot in her article.But in my opinion United States is the most anti-discriminative country of all already. In fact the government focuses so much on minorities that if you belong to wh itened race and dont have any disabilities it is almost impossible to get a financial aid or any other kind of benefits.Annan, Kofi. jaw on International Flows of Humanity Camarota, Steven A.
