Immigrants topic is hotly debated in USA. There are conflicting
evidences about the impacts of immigrants on US economy and its
society.
Economy:
- Immigrants have contributed towards the skilled labor force and
it is estimated that over 40 % innovations in USA are carried out
by immigrants.
- Further, immigrants create demand for domestically produced
goods.
- Over the last one decade, over 22 million people migrated to
USA.
- But it also has increased competition among the workers for
job, So wage rates are stagnant in USA.
Society:
- Immigrants have caused pressure on infrastructure. immigrants
have immensely contributed to poverty of America. one fourth of
poor, are immigrants.
- Most of immigrants are without insurance, so vulnerabilities
are also high.
- Furthermore, racial discrimination cases are also becoming
abundant.
To sum up, immigrants have contributed to growth of US economy,
but side by side, they have created a lot of hardships for natives.
There must be regulations to properly manage immigrants according
to needs of economy and society. unskilled immigrants can be
controlled appropriately.
