Current Immigration issues

            
             According to the Denver Post if President Bush's amnesty goes through some people would be affected in a negative way, and others would be affected in a positive way. In a broad perspective the people that would be affected in a negative way would defiantly have to be the native population, that are losing their job opportunity to the lower paid immigrants. The people that would benefit of course are the immigrants, but also the government in an economic perspective, the employers hiring the immigrants to staff their business. .
             In our society there are many specific people or groups that would be hurt by this proposal. The main people that would be affected would defiantly have to be the native people that lack proper schooling, by this I mean the people who don't have high school degrees, and the people who lack high school level education. There are 10 million native people that this proposal would affect just for the reason of lack of education. The reason why this affects the people without a proper education is because the immigrants lower the amount of pay by a whopping 5 percent. The increase in workers directly affects the decrease in wages. So this can be seen in an economic definition the increase in supply decreases in price. Large fiscal costs or economic costs are also a downfall. This is because immigrants make less money and pay less taxes and use more in our society. So pretty much they take more than they contribute to our economy. .
             The last fact that I got from the reading was using immigrants as subsidy, or financial backing in a business scenario really hurts our nation because the US taxpayers have to pick up the bill. .
             On the other side of the issue there are a few people besides the immigrants that would benefit from this proposal. As stated above the businesses that use immigrants as subsidy benefit tremendously, but if this proposal goes through they are going to loose that aspect of their business.
