Causes Of Immigrants And Jobs

Looking at a lot of problems in the US often times we think of the more commonly talked about issues such as, economy, healthcare,education. Now, who is this affecting, and in what ways? Immigrants are not being supported enough to be able to move up the economic ladder. In several ways this causes difficulties in saving money, gaining an education, and feeling equal. How do we begin to solve this issue? By setting in place programs to educate.

There has been a long standing debate that Immigrants are taking jobs away from the American people. Immigrants do not have to pay taxes, they get all the overtime and send all their money home instead of boosting our economy. These are some of the misconceptions that are backing the theory that immigrants are taking our jobs. The most astonishing amount of people being affected by immigration includes the poor, and uneducated; as well as the need to fix an immigration system, that is weak.

Immigrants who come over are looking for jobs as a first priority so they can provide for there family. There are not very many jobs out there today because there's so many in poverty and some are laid off their jobs because of a younger generation so in that case many U.S. citizens are looking for jobs. When these illegal immigrants come over and start applying and looking for jobs and get them it sets a lot of americans

The immigrant population continues to grow in the United States. Of these arrivals, Latino immigrants make up the majority of this growth (53%) (Larsen 2004). Therefore, second-generation Latino youth will continue to constitute a large part of our population. However, their documented lower educational achievement play a large role in shaping our country’s economic future if left unaddressed.

I personally don’t think Immigrants are taking American jobs because if Americans really wanted the jobs immigrants have, they would’ve tried to fight over their rights a long time ago. It’s been put out a lot of times that immigrants take American jobs, but no one really cares because the jobs immigrants have nobody would want. Immigrants didn’t come to the U.S. to intentionally take jobs from Americans, they come here to make a better life for them and their family.

Some immigrants are here illegally, so they do not have the proper documentation or immunizations to enter the school systems. Other individuals cannot read, write, or speak the English language fluently (Portes, Fernandez-Kelly, & Light, 2012). Without the proper education, a good paying job shall not be acquired. Creating a financial burden, lack of insurance, and inability to pay for medical care. Did you know that immigrants are not eligible for Medicaid?

Out of those million immigrants there are about one out of five children under the age of eighteen are either an immigrant or a child of immigrants parents. (Orozco, 2001). The majority of immigrants are from Latino or Asian origin. The United States has been experiencing a large wave of people coming into this country to start a new life from what they had before. Every region in the country is experiencing the growth of immigration every year. With this new immigration the U.S is witnessing immigrant children take over public schools. Today immigrant students are becoming the fastest population to grow in the child population in the United States (Hamilton, 2010). Many parents send their children to the United States and separate themselves from them because they want them to have a better life and live the American dream. Many kids go to school at a young age and get through high school and college and even start their careers. But many of them have to live in fear of being found out. They can’t trust many people, even the closest one to them (Vargas,

There are many reasons why people choose to immigrate. The first reason is economics. Some of the first immigrants to the United States came seeking economic opportunity. They came to escape the potato famine of Ireland or the high unemployment in Germany (Kowalski 17). These immigrants arrive seeking a better life for their families. Many people who immigrate see great economic opportunities in the host country which their home country does not provide. Such opportunities can be a stable economy, good jobs with benefits and higher pay. Today, many of the immigrants coming into the United States from Latin America come for better pay. Many are coming from countries that have a per capita income of between $4,800 and $7,500 (Goody 20).

Immigrants do not have the best employment opportunities in America because they also have to support family members back home, and because they live in ethnic neighborhoods, where for some immigrants it’s easy to assimilate to American culture. There is a perception of the American Dream where families can get access to resources, education, housing and employment. With that perception in mind, many immigrant groups have migrated to the United States. We will focus on two groups: the Irish and the Chinese in the United States.

The first to talk about is Culture: In the issue of culture, immigrants play a significant

When talking about DAPA and DACA Estrada (2016, p. 3) said “ITEP projects that fully legalizing the current 11.3 million unauthorized immigrants would add $2.1 billion in state and local tax revenue each year.” These same immigrants and many more help the economy so much that American economist believe that they are the future economic engine of American and even the world. In history, we know that the foundations of which this country has been made off of was all thanks to the immigrant generations before any of us. The dreams of the immigrants from back then to now are for the most part the same, to be able to start over and live a successful life. The only difference might have been how much the immigrants today majorly impact our economy

“...Employment gains of immigrants in the past few years have been large compared with the small gains by United States workers…” About half of all workers ages 18 to 64 without a high school diploma are immigrants. Most are unauthorized and do not speak English well. hey tend to work in different fields that U.S.-born workers often don’t. Immigrant are part of America DNA.

Since the start of our country, America has been known as a land of immigrants, a melting pot of different cultures and ethnicities working towards the American motto of the land of the free, home of the brave. Since colonial times, immigrants have been an integral part of society, majorly contributing to U.S culture and economy, yet many Americans have always had very conflicting ideas on immigration. Many people look past the benefits immigrants bring to our economy and society and instead scapegoat them for many of the United States’ problems surrounding unemployment and budget. The positive effects of immigrants, both legal and undocumented, in our country far outweighs the negative effects because of their important impact on society and the economic help that American relies on.

Between 1990 and 2000, enrollment increased by 14 percent […] without school-age immigrants (about 250,000) and the children of immigrants (725,000 a year), school enrollment would not be rising at all

Research from the Wharton School of Business, Pennsylvania, shows that the foreign-born population has grown rapidly in recent decades, rising from less than 5 percent of the U.S. population in 1970 to 13 percent in 2013. Although immigrants comprise a larger share of population today since World War II, the foreign born share is roughly the same as in 19th century and early 20th century, where 15 percent of U.S residents were immigrants. The evidence increasingly suggests that when supply of labor is boosted by immigration, investments by firms increase to offset any reduction in capital per worker,
