in the debate was about immigration. Every year, thousands of immigrants come to the United States, some document and some undocumented.

However, the benefits of this bill outweighed its disadvantages. Immigration policies in the United States concerning undocumented workers are strict and direct. Employers
a. According to Riley, job-displacement, which fuels the national immigration debate, is a myth, as this empirical evidence shows: In 2006, for example, of the 146 million workers in the United States, 21 million were foreign born. If immigrants are stealing jobs, 21 million U.S.-born Americans should have been out of work, but the real number was only 7 million. Riley concludes that the majority of immigrants must be doing jobs that would not have existed had the immigrants not been here. i. Would
In the article, “Media can Broaden the Immigration Debate by Putting a Human Face on Immigrant Experiences” by Richard Pineda not only simplifies immigration as a whole, but essentially lacks the sufficient amount of information that would effectively validate why the economic impact of immigration in America is so eminent.

Consequently, immigrants make up for approximately half the population growth in the U.S. There are already labor shortages happening in the country, and the situation could worsen rather quickly. The co-founder of Macroeconomic Advisers, Joel Prakken, states that the economy should see at least a two-percent growth each year, but a decrease is already expected if immigration slows
Throughout the debate, I had a difficult time following a lot of what was said. However, from what I was able to hear and decipher, I agree with Governor Mike Pence. In the economy portion I feel like Pence’s standpoint is better. His plan is to lower taxes, invest in the small business, and keep coal plants running. All of these things would better America.
