Pros And Cons Of Immigrants Enter The Labor Market

Recently, UFCW gave testimony to the House of Commons Special Committee on Pay Equity on behalf of 10,000 UFCW Canada members.

“I came to America because I heard the streets were paved with gold. When I got here, I found out three things. First, the streets weren’t paved with gold; second, they weren’t paved at all: and third, I was expected to pave them” an old Italian immigrant once said. Immigrants faced many obstacles coming to America such as finding work, finding a place to live, acclimating to their new surroundings and learning to communicate. When immigrants came to America, they expected their life to become better and have an easier life.

Thank you for your thoughtful post. In other words, you are asking how can the United States justify not providing affordable health insurance for people residing and working in country? Baiden (2010) offerings two important points, “Most, if not all of these undocumented immigrants work hard and contribute to the country's economic growth” furthermore, “The problem is that such individuals suffer high degree of exploitation at the hands of their employers” (p. 5). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for government insurance programs, are unlikely to have employer provided insurance, and often do not have the resources to purchase private insurance. Furthermore, research has identified vulnerable populations such as low income, uninsured

Undocumented families face immense pressure getting accustomed to the new land. Many parents want to adhere to their traditional way of life, but due to the new atmosphere, they are forced to assimilate into the American culture with the hopes of becoming socially accepted. The striving force behind the American dream, as mentioned earlier, is to achieve a better life. To accomplish this, undocumented immigrants must be able attain a job and provide the basic needs and essentials of life for their family. In doing so, so many undocumented individuals experience harsh realities due to the lack of legal protection.

Undocumented immigrants provide jobs, pay taxes, and have had many positive outcomes toward the United States therefore, they should be allowed to be granted citizenship without going through all the hardships such as inhumane treatments, labeling/categorizing, harassment and detains. Undocumented immigrants are always supposedly up to no good and seen as the enemy. “There is no need for immigration so why have it?” you may ask. Throughout the years, many people have traveled to the United States from other countries to get a well paying job in order to maintain their families, to provide everything it takes to be successful for their kids, and overall to have a brighter future. Would people with bad intentions actually go through the

1 million immigrants move to America each year due to it being an exceptional nation. We are an exceptional nation because we have more rights than any other country, we are more equal than most, and we also have more of a choice in our government than the rest of the world. America is the one country everybody is fighting to get into due to its amount of freedom.

Undocumented Immigrants: Beneficial to the United States There are about 11.5 million undocumented immigrants in the United States today. Undocumented immigrants from different parts of the world come to this country for variety of reasons, reasons like getting a better life for themselves or their for their families, to find better jobs, or seeking a better education. Undocumented immigrants are willing to do jobs, that could sometimes be risky, that other people in the U.S. aren’t willing to do. The government should provide documents for immigrants because they benefit this country with cultural diversities, help by joining the U.S. armed forces, and growth in the U.S. economy.

An American citizen who visits other countries is somehow automatically protected, held to certain regards and given certain liberties, which sometimes the “Citizens” of those countries do not receive. Americans can travel to just about any country without a visa or any form of legal documents. Aside from a passport, they can choose to reside in that country simply because they want to without any form of backlash, ill treatment, or fear for their lives. They get some of the better jobs pushing the locals out of those positions. Therefore, illegal immigrants in the United States do have some constitutional rights that citizens have.

In this paper the topic of immigrant labor is that people from around the world have long immigrated to the United States seeking employment opportunities to have a better life style, but while the U.S. economy has benefited by the talents and energy of migrants and immigrants there have also been concerns. According to Immigrant Labor (2015),

Stated by the Center for American Progress, “an increased supply of labor as a result of immigration is easily absorbed into the labor market as a result of increased demand for labor, without lowering the wages of native born workers” (Kugler 3). Therefore, immigrants are more likely to be harder workers than those already in the United States because they value the opportunities given to them in the workforce. Their hard work and dedication allows the country to have an improved society. Moreover, according to Adriana Kugler and Patrick Oakford, “our broken immigration system stifles the contributions of immigrants and in turn withholds significant benefits from American workers” (Kugler 3). Without the labor of our immigrants, the country’s working percentage would greatly decrease.

Immigrants are bad for the U.S because they are taking the scarce amount of jobs that citizens are fighting for.First off, according to Howard W. Foster a lawyer whose main cases are involving the employment of illegal immigrants, over 450,000 legal immigrants come to the U.S every year, and over 700,000 illegal immigrants come to the U.S every year and are fighting with citizens to get their jobs. Since there are not that much jobs out there, with over one million immigrants they should not be priority over citizens who deserve these jobs.Another piece of evidence from Howard Foster shows that immigrants are bad for the U.S because most of the immigrants coming over are uneducated and have no experience with any technical jobs, so they have

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

Even though evidence proves otherwise, many people claim the large quantity of guns in the United States are culpable for the country’s murder rates. While the United States population and number of guns have steadily gone up since 1994, the rates of all different crime types have drastically gone down (Planty). Over the last nineteen years, almost fifty million guns have been added to the US, yet firearm violence has been reduced by more than two thirds (Federal Bureau). This completely contradicts the statement that more guns equal more violence. To compare the two, solely based on these statistics, it looks as though the upsurge of guns and armed citizens has only led to less violence. Another example, that disproves this, is the Firearm Act of 1997. After a school shooting, the United Kingdom passed this act banning almost all of their guns. That year, the UK had initially recorded seven hundred and thirty-four homicides. While only steadily increasing, by the year 2002, they had a recorded one thousand and forty-one homicides (Osborne). This act did not prevent homicides at all, and as a matter of fact it only created more violence. The District of Columbia is another case in point on how the lack of guns does not mean there is any lack of violence. DC has a 3.6% gun ownership ratio of the people living there, ranking it the lowest in the Unites States. At the same time, DC has the highest gun deaths and firearm robberies in the Unites States. The District has a

Boxer was an extraordinary and a motivational character to the other animals in the novel by George Orwell, “Animal farm.” In this book, Boxer represented the peasants and long suffering workers. Boxer was a hard working contributor to the farm, he was very loyal to Napoleon and the other farm animals, and he was also a leader and motivation to everyone around him.

Every four years in America there are elections, campaigns, disputes, word battles, rallies, press conferences, and a person who becomes the new president elect or maintains his position of power. In the previous years, 2016, these exact things happen between Donald Trump and a women, the first one to run for presidency, Hilary Clinton. In November 8, 2016 Trump became the president elect and became the official US President in the beginning months of the year 2017. President Trump has his own plan in order to run the country and make it as he says, “Great Again”. However, the only problem with his plan is that it affects the citizens, the voices of the country, and definitely violates their rights.
