Globalization Labor Movement

Employers state that the U.S. still lacks enough employable technically skilled workers, and H-1B visas allow American businesses to compete in and increasingly competitive global marketplace. However, with the number of skilled U.S. workers increasing in all areas of the workforce, there is no longer justification for the use of foreign employees to perform jobs so sorely needed by American workers. H-1B visas holders are now displacing American worker by working for lower wages and fewer benefits. The visa holders are being abused by the system as well. Immigrant workers are held virtual prisoners by companies who treat them as little more than indentured servants.

The work was also dangerous with not much supervising by the government. Workers, on the other hand, had little or even no bargaining power to leave the unsafe conditions. Nowadays, When Americans only pay attention when extreme work strike, levels of abuse are the norm hidden in the factories around the globe. Although the condition seems much improved, consumers don’t know the true fact- “Today, American citizens simply cannot know the working conditions of the factories that make the products they buy.

What can be defined by economic globalisation is the increasing economic integration and interdependence of national, regional and local economies across the world through an intensification of cross-border movement of goods, services, technologies and capital. Whereas globalisation is a broad of set of processes concerning multiple networks of economic, political and cultural interchange, contemporary economic globalisation is propelled by the rapid growing significance of information in all types of productive activities and by the developments in science and technology. Some theorist also defined Globalisation as a historical stage of accelerated expansion of market capitalism, like the one experienced in the 19th century with the

The first truth I will be talking about is that immigrants are generally responding to a strong and persistent demand that is built into the structure of post-industrial economies. What is meant by this is that there is a secondary market that immigrants are attracted to that the natives would not like doing, nor would last. These jobs are usually the jobs that are long hours and heavy labor, that pay much less. The immigrants come for these jobs to start a life here in the United States, but without those jobs, the immigrants would not migrate due to the risks involved. Some of these jobs include cleaning services, butchers, landscapers, construction workers, and many other higher labor jobs.

Globalization and Nation States Globalization has integrated and intertwined the economies of the world. In the world today, every nation has become independent on every other nation, be it through trade or through finance. Developing countries today are attracting large rounds of foreign investment, and this foreign investment is coming from the developed countries. Thus, the money of the developed countries is today invested in the developing countries.

As americans it is not only right to help each other, it is necessary for the betterment of the country. It is inept for the government to watch their country struggle, while spending massive amount of money for funding on frivolous things like sororities and fraternities Many cities in America are filled with people who earn less than what the standard of living is in the country .They experience many hardships and often struggle because of the issues within their community. This is the biggest issue with wealth inequality.

But others note that since these individual are not highly educated, have less resources; and little money; they take advantage of our government system more than others. This causing our National deficient to rise putting our country in a financial crisis; which could have been avoided by requiring them to contribute to the expenses each of us endure. “As a result, many Americans believe that immigrants don’t share an equal burden of the expenses they incur, especially at the local level” (Wood, 2009 as cited in Jones, ASID, IIDA, IDEC, and Phyllis Sloan Allen, 2009, p. 79). But actually this is far from the truth, many immigrants such as us do pay their way through society, paying the same cost as we do as United States Citizens; such as taxes. They take on jobs that others refuse to work, receive little or no training; and given the lowest possible pay scale acceptable by law; even though America promised so much more.

Then applying stronger anti-discrimination policies that protect employers, and thus this system will also prevent exploitations from employers. Immigrants are a large part of this country, they pay taxes and contribute to the economy yet, they are shunned and society keeps them isolated. We need an initiative that will also integrate immigrants into their communities. The legalization of immigrants will allow border patrol to focus on the real criminals, terrorists, smugglers and thus a decline in deaths and criminal activity.

Globalization is a process of linking the world through many aspects, from the economic to the culture, the political. in different nations. This process uses to describe the changes in society and in the world economy, by creating a linkage and increasing exchange between individuals, organizations or nations in cultural perspective, economics on global scale (Globalization 101, n.d.). A process of creating many opportunities but also causes many challenges for all the nations in the world, particularly for developing countries. There are so many advantages that globalization brings to developing countries like free trade, technology transfer and reducing unemployment.

Although immigrants can cause problems, such as weakening America's security, they could also bring many credits that would help the country in the long run. As such, American legislators must be able to make policies that would control or assimilate illegal immigrants, rather than restricting them. As discussed above, immigrants impact America’s economy and society. Ultimately, a large number of immigrants have dominated the U.S., and they work on construction, manufacturing and services. Without immigrants, the U.S. economy will eventually collapse.

In my experience, legal immigrant workers work harder and are more productive than native born U.S. citizens when it comes to physical labor. If a U.S.-born citizen gets beat out for a job because they were not as motivated to work as the immigrant that was hired, then I consider it to be the unmotivated worker’s fault that they are unemployed not the immigrants fault. However, I agree that immigration “employment-based visas” should be issued according to “labor market conditions” (Kallick). Furthermore, I disagree with many of the government’s legislative attempts to “defer the deportations” of illegal immigrants (Nakamura). The reasons I disagree with these attempts are all monetary based.

(Immigration Issues) Spending money to prevent Illegal immigration would still save the country more money than letting aliens stay. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants desperate for any job unfairly depresses the wages and working conditions offered to American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. (Immigration Issues)

One might think that the farming industry and the technology industry are completely different, but surrounding the subject of immigrant workers both industries share common ideas. Large companies want to know the way that they can make the most money, while also releasing a quality product. The business owners on both sides feel as though American workers are not as qualified or as hardworking as immigrant workers. Yet what these corporations are not telling you is that even legal immigrant workers are not paid as well as what an American would be. It might seem easy to blame these foreign workers, because they are not standing up and asking for better wages or working conditions.

(Grudem, W. p.81) When you see governments working against the poor of their land, you realize that escaping poverty in some countries is rare. More people would probably start businesses, if they did not see them as evil. There are many negative thoughts in the world towards business, and rightly so. We hear about high priced executives with wild spending habits, exploitation of young labor, and their unethical business practices.

As more and more illegal immigrants continue to flourish in the United States, one common issue involving the economy is the job market. On one hand there are those who feel that the immigrants are taking their jobs, which makes looking for a job more difficult and furthermore causing issues in the economy. On the other, there are those who feel immigration actually benefits the economy in a variety of ways. Upon arriving to the U.S., immigrants can hardly grasp the social functions therefore leading to their first priority to find a job and a home. Immigrants that are hired are more likely to work for a lower wage however they’re very low-skilled workers.
