Difference Between Social Class And Middle Class

The prediction by economists is that illegal immigrants will redistribute income by lowering the salaries of competing American workers and increasing the salaries of complementary American workers as well as profits for business owners and users of illegal labors. America has always been a home to all immigrants and is considered a large group in the work force and contributing to the economy. While the total net impact on the native born is small, the loss or gain for certain groups of the people can be extensive. Let’s consider the facts immigrant workers

Income inequality has been seen throughout different societies. It has always been separated with the poor on bottom and the rich on top. Most societies in past and present have had little to no movement between the separations of classes. The reality for the poor in most of those societies is that they can almost never get to the level and quality of life of the rich. America compared to other societies in our past and present is a society that strongly believes in the idea of “The American Dream”. The American Dream gives hope to some people below the rich that they can someday be as prosperous as the rich if they work hard enough for it and show that they are capable. This idea implies that it is possible for anyone whether the person is middle or low class. It is not possible for low-income workers in America to move to the upper class because they lack the resources for better jobs, they are racially or ethnically discriminated in the workforce and the upper class takes most of the income in the US.

This means that in the working class most affected by immigration, the least educated and least skilled native-born Americans, the changes in wages are hardly noticeable due to immigrants. In actuality, the “overall low-skilled native wages are 2.4 percent lower as a result of immigration” (Orrenius 21). Additionally, in many cases the job or profession is one that would not appeal to a native-born American, such as lawn services, construction, or janitorial work. This supply of cheap labor actually benefits American

I think it is a problem because the people who are part of the upper class are making the policies for the lower class. This is a problem because they do not understand what the lower class goes through and they do not understand what their circumstances are. The upper class tends to see the lower class as “lazy,” but in reality determinism caused them to be in the situation they are in. Although a lot of the upper class was born into their wealth, many people are not that fortunate. People do not get to choose what they want to be born into, they get born into whatever their family circumstances are, whether poor or rich. On page 181 in Class in America, two of three different life styles really stood out to me. Harold Browning was born into a rich family. As a child he went to an exclusive private school, got tutoring, and had many privileges. He went to an Ivy League school, got a job in his family's company then went on to higher positions and ended up making $324,000 annually. On the other hand, Cheryl Mitchell went to a public school, received no tutoring, and went on to pursue higher education but dropped out due to financial issues. Her annual salary is $16,850. Studies have shown that

The Government will require the lower class to work longer hours in order to receive government benefits such as food stamps and financial aid.

The United States is the richest country on Earth. Free-market advocates promise this prosperity to span over all socio-economic classes, but it simply has not. The American middle class prosperity is a fantasy. Like my family, many middle-class Americans are facing massive inequality, jobs losses, and a continuous increase in the amount of debt accrued. While the United States is home to the most billionaires and millionaires in the world, the wealth of our middle class is ranked 27th globally. For decades their have been a series of economic and societal transformations leading up to the development of the middle class and the turmoil it has left families in, such as my own.

4. Families of illegal immigrants will be rounded up and deported which means that American citizens will be forced to leave as well as illegals.

The killer of the middle class in the USA! GLOBALIZATION!! The direction the billionaires have brought this nation and the middle class in the US are sick of getting taken advantage of, sick of no jobs and getting screwed in trade and at the border. Open borders agenda is a part of it allowing open travels to work and jobs to bring up developing countries economies at the expense of hard working Americans! North Atlantic Free Trade Association Clinton backed (NAFTA) - NAFTA sent the jobs of U.S. autoworkers to Mexico, a developing country, where wages are significantly lower than those in the U.S. A few years later, some of those same jobs were relocated to third-world countries in East Asia, where wages are even lower. In both cases, the auto

Secondly illegal immigration positively impacts American life. “A recent study finds that the rise in immigration between 1990 and 2006, which increased labor-force participation by about 12.5 million, increased the earnings of U.S. workers by between 0.6 and 0.7 percent” (“Immigration Helps American Workers’ Wages and Job Opportunities”). This increase allows native-born earnings to climb. Using these findings, under the S.744 reform act U.S. workers could expect an increase in earnings from 0.4 and 0.7 because of immigration.

You may be asking yourself how do immigrants hurt the U.S economy if they are working and paying taxes? The sad fact is that most immigrants do not pay taxes, instead they get paid so little the most paychecks are under the table, which means no taxes are being taken out. Most of the money that they make they send back to their home country, which means less money in circulation in the U.S economy. The U.S economy is already suffering enough, the gross US federal government debt is estimated to be $19.5 trillion, according to the FY18 Federal Budget. We as U.S citizens are obligated to pay off that debt and we need every job to do so. We the people of the United states will need to pay about $73,000 to pay off that debt, and there is no room for

Unemployment would rise even further as these high income earners stop consuming as much, which in turn hurts small business sales. This multiplier effect on the economy could create a recessionary atmosphere in some cities with a high concentration of tax professionals. The lack of work for these highly trained and motivated professionals will not last long once corporations start bringing home the estimated $10 trillion from overseas to expand business. Part of that will be invested in stock markets; this will create openings at investment firms that will soak up this talent. That investment will spur business growth, which as a multiplier effect will expand the economy and in turn expanding consumption. That expansion of consumption will generate a higher level of tax revenue that will quickly offset any short term reduction in tax professional unemployment.

I think that the immigrants will be treated very badly by the middle and lower classes because they provide tough competition for jobs. They would work for very low wages, therefore, giving them more jobs. This would mean all the other people that had that job would lose it in place of a cheaper

“We're poorer than the Socs and the middle class” We are the greasers we are the lower end of popularity because we have less money than everyone.We have something to be proud about we are better family the Socs actual family! A family is someone who would die for you, we are a brotherhood as well.The Socs always say we have an easy life because we have more freedom ,but that is a lie we have a hard life most of our parents have left us we don’t talk to us and it is horrible. “Greaser’s are almost like hoods we steal things and drive old souped-up cars and hold up gas stations and have gang fights once in awhile” The Socs are the higher end of popularity. The Socs are only the higher end of popularity because the a rich and spoiled.The Socs

Not only are American workers harmed by the loss of jobs, the hourly wage rates are reduced because of illegal immigrants working for far less. “[…] less undocumented immigrants mean less competition for jobs and higher wages for unskilled labor.”(Grey 1) Furthermore, George Borias and Lawrence Katz of Harvard University estimate that “illegal

Low wages affect single mothers and children since prices for everything is too high. “ Many low-wage job conditions of parents poorly affect kids”(Tompkins). The children with parents who do not make a higher percentage outcome usually don’t do as well like their peers in terms of health and education only because they are poorer. Children experience less healthy lives and are most likely to drop out of high school. (Jaqueline) Children see that their parents are struggling to make ends meet but instead of keep going to school, they drop out to put less stress on their parents. Without the minimum wage increase this is going to keep happening with more and more families. Low wages make child care unaffordable, and research shows that low wages
