On immigration’s costs and benefits

The Alien Payoff – Immigration Gain or Loss

Immigration has long been an issue in America and there are plenty of viewpoints on this matter. Is immigration hurting the American economy or do we gain from an immigrant who comes to this country for freedom and a new economic life. This has been an issue of much discussion in the past few years.

After so initial research, I found that that immigration is a boast to the economy and add as much as $10 billion each year. Paul Glastris’s article, The Alien Payoff discusses that a majority of immigrates that come to this county are looking for work. The unskilled immigrate will take whatever job is available at a much lower age that most Americans would receive for the same job. For most of the employers who offer a lower wage this translates

Most immigrates work in specialized sectors of the economy such as the manufacturing and service industry. These immigrates compete primarily for jobs with each other and with Americans who do not hold high school diplomas. Because of this competition native-born Americans have seen wages fall about 5 percent (cited The New Americans: Economic, Demographic, and Fiscal Effects of Immigration). The study also indicted that even though there are a high number of immigrates the job opportunities and wages were not significantly effected by immigration.

Immigrants and their children will bring long-term benefits for most U. S. taxpayers because immigrates use more publicly funded services in childhood and old age. They also make positive contributions as working adults. The real tax benefit of immigration will not be seen for a few decades. The government and the policy makers will continue
