This question is important for me to answer because I am an immigrant from another country. If I examined it from immigrant side, and being in their shoes and see the case in the other side being American my answer might not be the same. It is true that the number of immigrants entering to United States is getting very high. As the author of “Our Rainbow Underclass” indicated, allowing immigrants to enter to the country might have side effects on the country and it might consequent some problems. Most people claim that the rising of Alien number increased unemployment rate of the country. The reasoning behind that resentment is that foreigners will take jobs that could go to Americans. However, it is possible to observe this situation from two different angles. First, an immigrant may have skills and capabilities that are unique and helpful to United States. Talented immigrants may create innovation that builds new industries and create more job opportunities to peoples. For instance, the co-founder of Google, Sergey Brin is Russian. eBay was founded by Pierre Omidyar, who is from French. These two people are immigrants from two different countries. However, what they have done contributed a lot for the development of IT technology and opened a huge job opportunity for many. Secondly, most people migrated to united state to escape disasters war that is going on to find peace and a better job to raise their kids. I do not think it is fair for such peoples to close the door on them and letting them to suffer in a situation that they are responsible for. In my point of view, closing the door is not the right thing to do. In addition, it will not be a solution to such problems if countries like America, considered powerful and solution finders to immigrants. Friday, November 11, 2011
Is Immigration "Out Of Control"?

I really enjoyed reading your post on "Is immigration out of control?" You convinced me that we should not close our doors and showed how many talented immigrants have come here! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI really like your opinion because if they bring talented immigrant, that's is really good way to improve the economy, but however if they bring too much talented immigrants, it will also effect college students, because college students are also going for major which is a goal to work somewhere in future, so bringing too much talent immigrants can also effect native or other that are fighting for the same goal. They need to keep in balance about bringing talented immigrants and graduating college students.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you mean from your prospective but some people do not like immigrants coming to America and if you tell them to bring the talented ones it would raise huge concern for them.
ReplyDeleteOne day I was reading an article and some people were argueing that immigrants are taking our jobs and the economy is going down because of them.We know immigrants contribute highly in the economy working too much hours. Immigrants do the hardest jobs and get pay less.
You have strong points to get your opinion across and I think they can be very usefull for immigrants and Native born people.
