within the United States, while being opposed to continued immigration into the country. It is my intention to show the economic argument that continued, unrestrained immigration can have a negative impact on the economic standing of the United States and it’s cities. And that the free movement of labor migration inside the United States if it remains unhindered can have positive impacts. I will use the theories of efficiency gains and wage narrowing as well as the economic effects of migration externalities
to the United States stems primarily from uniquely developed push-pull migration mechanisms in which “interplay of national, regional, and global economic developments, the history of U.S. military and foreign policy in the Western Hemisphere, the checkered history of international border enforcement and interdiction efforts, and, not least, the aspirations of Latin American migrants and potential migrants themselves” (Gutierrez).

Neoclassical economics of migration focuses on individual decision to attain higher wages by migrating to a new higher wage country. Migration between Puerto Rico and the United States is an example of this theory. Analysis has been done that illustrates when Puerto Rico’s unemployment rates are high migration to the mainland in the United States for work is high. Although Puerto Rico is a common wealth of the United States migration between the two represents significant movements across linguistic

populated state, would allow most people to think their growth rate would be the highest, but as of 2014, China’s growth rate is only at .45%, which is lower than that of France and the United States (Census Bureau 2014). Although growth rate can tell a lot about a state, there are many other ways to analyze a state’s population.

As the world moved throughout the time of 1890-1945, the United states experienced a myriad of events that moved it closer to the founding ideals. However, the main ideal, which was supported by plenty of actions, became evident to be “opportunity”. Some of the events that brought the United States closer to the American ideals was the great migration, women in WWII, and African Americans in WWII.

In the United Kingdom, a census was taken every 10 years starting from 1801. With the exception of 1941 due to the Second World War, the census kept a very good idea of the current population and assisted in predicting futures sizes. Population data for years prior to the census was provided from directories and gazetteers as many churches took number on the size of its inhabitants. Estimated in the 1500s, Scotland had a population of 500,000 persons, and according to the 2011 census, the country
have been one of the leading causes of population displacements with refugees making up a substantial number of migrations in the last century.
