How Immigrants Affect Destination Countries

Those who claim that immigrants have caused a decline in productivity did not provide any evidence. Author Eduardo Porter, wrote “Can Immigration Hurt the Economy? An Old Prejudice Returns,” published in February 14th, 2017 in The New York Times. Author argues that a lot of economist who studied how immigrants’ effects to America’s economic and stock markets, that they insist immigrants creates enfeeble economic from their diverse cultural. Yet, have not provide any evidence. Author Eduardo Porter criticize about economist who support immigrants weakened America’s economic situation using other economist’s evidence. However, toward the end of this article, his personal trust and emotional appeals were lean towards to President Trump, that this article was not directed to support immigrants who receive unjust treatments.

Countless years ago, my ancestors came from the Germany/Poland border to America in hopes of living a better life in a brave new world. When my parents arrived around the 1860s America had started grow and would not have grown in such fashion without immigrants. Society as we know it today would not be the same today without immigrants, they have shaped our country in ways such as culture, diversity, and economic stimulation.

Immigration is considered as one of the most debated topics not only by politicians, but also by ordinary citizens themselves. Considerably, many people from various places seek for a greener pasture for the welfare of their families. This is the reason why many people across the globe come to America to make their dreams a reality. The history of immigration in America started after the American Civil War and the reconstruction after such war. Ultimately, immigration to the United States was considered to be a part of a worldwide trend. Even until these very days, millions of immigrants gamble and go to America to find work. These immigrants came from various countries across the globe,

Immigration has become a serious debate within these last couple of years, especially these couple of months. Did you know there are 41 million foreign-born individuals living in the United States right now? Immigrants either come to the U.S two ways: by crossing the border or overstaying their Visa. There are many reasons why someone would want to come to another country; but the three main reasons are for religious freedom, opportunity, or survival.

Until this day, people still have a misconception about immigrants and don’t realize how immigration can benefit the economy. Native-born americans argue that immigrants don’t contribute deeply to the United States as a nation. Therefore, this paper is going to analyze two articles written by Camarota and Bush to determine what they say about the impact that immigration has on the economy. Some of the arguments that Bush stated is the effects of immigrants in the U.S. labor force and the income for natives. The author Steven Camarota argued that immigrants and natives compete within one another to get a job. Immigrants migrating to the U.S. is affecting the gross domestic product and it is not benefiting the native-born population.

The main reason for immigration has remained economic opportunity, the appeal of better land or a better job. Before 1920, about 30 percent of all immigrants to the United States later returned to their native country. Some immigrants intend to stay in a new country temporarily and then go back home. But others go back because they find adjusting to a new society too difficult. (Source: The World Book Encyclopedia, Volume 10, Page 82). From 1820 to 1870 approximately 7 ½ million newcomers entered the United States. Nearly all of them came from northern and western Europe. In the mid-1880 's, some states sent negotiators to Europe to lure settlers. Railroad companies did the same thing. The overflow of immigrants started to distress many native

Clearly, upon their arrival, immigrants earn less than natives of equal attributes. Earnings assimilation refers to the earnings growth rate of immigrants in later years at destination above and beyond the growth rate experienced by natives of similar measured characteristics. Recent immigrants suffer from language difficulties, lack of social networks, and only partial information on the new labor market. The skills acquired in the source country are often not perfectly transferable to the destination country. The transferability of immigrants’ skills is related to the source country from which they arrive. The more developed the source country, the easier it is for immigrants to use the skills and knowledge they bring with them in their new

My father and mother, being immigrants, have had a significant contribution to shaping my goals, perspectives, and ideals. Based on their experiences in America, I have developed more traits that I am proud to acknowledge, For instance, I have become a more ambitious and resilient person, which contributes to all of the work that I handle. I believe this was stemmed from watching my father come home from 12-hour shifts at an exhausting job each day. He was come a long way from when he first arrived in this country, working multiple minuscule jobs. He was able to make growth from this and start up a small business where he works tremendously to provide for our family. It has inspired me multiple times to branch out and become more, making more ambitious goals for myself.

According to the Current Population Survey (2016), immigrants account to 27 percent of the total population of the United States of America, which means that the number of immigrants living in the U.S is approximately 84.3 million people. Based on the data by Migration Policy Institute (2015), the number of immigrants in 1970 was approximately 9.6 million people and by 2010, the number had reached approximately 40 million. The number of immigrants keeps on rising, and is expected to continue to rise in the future. The astonishing amount is bound to have some effects on the host country, in this case the United States, in many things including the economy. Many experts and economists argue whether immigrants bring more benefits or disadvantages for the economy of the country they’re immigrating to. However, even though there are indeed some disadvantages, the benefits of immigration to the economy are more than enough to make up for the costs. Immigrants benefit the economy of the country they’re immigrating to in terms of increasing the gross domestic product, tax revenues, and contribution to innovation.

Why do you think immigrants leave their country to come to different ones? Many immigrants leave their country to search for better opportunities like religious freedom, jobs, and education. These are some of the main reasons why immigrants leave their country. Current researches from the Catholic Church now show that immigrant’s laws and policies have often led to the undermining of immigrants human dignity and have kept families apart. This been said these are some of the main topic about immigrants.

People move all the time. Long ago—before humans became invested in politics and boundary lines—people would come and go from one place to another as they pleased, and where they pleased. Today, the topic of immigration is unsurprisingly a highly controversial and frequently debated issue. There are restrictions as to where one can migrate, qualifications one might need to meet to migrate, and a variety of other factors that may hinder movement. Many opponents of immigration provide arguments against minimally restricted movement because of immigration’s disruptive social and economic effects. Although it causes disruptive change, global immigration is beneficial overall to global human development because it increases

The reasons for immigration are personal and linked to the individual or family making them. However, historians and researches understand that many of the reasons can be distilled down into a few overarching reasons. E. G. Ravenstien, a social scientist, developed three laws of immigration that in general have held true: the idea an immigrant will either be pushed or pulled into migration, the type of person that will migrate, and patterns that are established. These laws work on both a macro and micro level especially when considering the push and pull factors that drive people to immigrate (Daniels, pp. 18-19). There are two migration events that occurred in the United States that demonstrate Ravenstien’s laws at the macro and micro levels. The third wave of migration covers the period of 1890-1930 and

Migration is extremely important for multiple different reasons, and many countries rely on it to flourish. Migration is important for both economic and social reasons. One of the economic reasons that migration is important is because a country's wealth relies on this migration of people. Through migration services and multiple goods for the country are provided. A lot of migrates hold up our economy, therefore without it the countries could break into chaos. Social reasons include diversity in the country, and the mix of cultures providing new and different though unique ideas from all over the world. Also it provides a sense of freedom, and gives people more opportunities in careers, and lifestyle. It provides a sense of freedom

Contrary to popular belief, migrants are not diseased people; however, the actual process of migrating, depending on the conditions encountered, makes migrants particularly susceptible to physical, environmental, social and psychological problems.5 In short, the migration process makes migrants and refugees vulnerable. Infectious and communicable diseases may spread in conditions where health hygiene and sanitation are poor. Likewise, the incidence of non-communicable diseases may be distributed inequitably due to the stresses of migration and the lack of access to the necessary medical services both in the countries of origin and the receiving states. Psychosocial illnesses like anxiety and depression from traumatic experiences, for example war, may lead to migrants having problems with substance abuse. To further compound their quandaries, migrants and refugees face stark differences in cultures, racism and language barriers, which are all barricades to their integration into the receiving societies.6
