Running head: IMMIGRATION 1 Surname 1 Name: Professor: Course Title: Date: Immigration a Necessary ‘Evil’ Immigration now more than ever has been on the rise and in fact in the last forty years, immigration has been a demographic shift historically. More so, we can relate with the issue of immigration since it is the belief that America is a product of immigration. Though the issue of immigration has received mixed reaction from different people, technically, everyone in America is affected by immigration either directly or indirectly. Whether due to the large population of immigrants in the country or the jobs immigrants have secured in the country, immigration influences America greatly. Immigration has influenced the growth and development of America`s economy contrary to the perception of the critics of immigration. America also referred to as a nation of immigrants is a land that has been founded, and it’s very own people that love it. In this view, America can be viewed as the land of opportunity and attracts attention from across the globe. Individuals strive to get a share of the opportunities in this land for the good of their families, which has contributed to the rise in immigration. Immigration has in many ways influenced America, furthermore, the English language that is the formal language of the land is of German origin. Immigration and its influence to the American culture, therefore, can be traced far back in history. It would, therefore, be the reason America is termed as the land of immigrants since a large portion of its population is made up of immigrants (Huntington, 467). Subsequently, it is observed that most of the individuals in the country have a German, Asian or other ancestral origins. Immigration has contributed to the diversity that the American community enjoys in the modern day. The diversity of cultures and customs contribute to the rich American customs making it more special than other cultures and contributes to the modernization of the country. Besides the contribution to the American culture, immigration has led to the introduction of the skilled and experienced workforce (Jacoby, 422). Most of the immigrants come from developing countries and are motivated to work due to the poor living conditions in the countries. In fact, the motivation among most immigrants is to secure a sustainable job since they are not entitled to benefits. Also, the level of entrepreneurship for most of the immigrants is astonishing from the first, second generation even beyond. It is recorded that the Asian and Latino business startup rate stands at four times higher than the average American. Statistics show that the business startups among the immigrants is at a high level than that of the average American (Jacoby, 420). The effect is that it indicates the enthusiasm among most of the immigrants as goal oriented towards earning a decent living. It is inevitable therefore to realize that as business contributes to the gr.

Role of remittance in development

Mihir Adhikary

"We Are All Immigrants" is a presentation that speaks to the urgent need to align our immigration policy with our job-creation goals. We can create jobs in America --- lots of them---- by flicking the switch and welcoming the job-creators from abroad. Compared to American-born, Immigrants are twice as likely to start a business, twice as likely to invent a new product, more likely have an advanced degree, and more likely to have the linguistic, cultural, and networking skill-set to sell U.S. products and services abroad. Immigrants are America's competitive advantage. It's time we stopped treating them like dirt. I've been talking about this for over 10 years! hoping that someone would listen.... and help save my hometown (Cleveland) and country! I'm an immigration lawyer ---- I know how broken the system is --- and how to FIX IT! I co-wrote a book, "Immigrant, Inc." to tell these stories. I co-wrote the immigration policy for the 30 chambers of commerce from Chicago to Pittsburgh. Awareness is increasing, through programs such as Global Michigan, Global Detroit, Global Cleveland, Global Pittsburgh, and others. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg is one of the biggest champions of the notion that smart immigration reform can CREATE jobs in America and help revitalize its cities.
