immigration
Many immigrants come to the United States because it is known as the "land of opportunities", but in the last decade many political analysts are saying that there are no more opportunities left for the citizens already living here. Immigrants come here for job opportunities and to start a new life and career. The question though is that, by allowing the number of new immigrants to influx are we end up sacrificing the people that are struggling to find those opportunities. The number of new immigrants entering in the United States has tripled since the early 1900s. While the numbers are increasing, the problem of employment and wages is also increasing. This paper will prove that decreasing the number of entering immigrants is needed. Although, there are some advantages in the increase of new immigrants entering the United States, there should be laws to decrease the number. Futhermore, this paper will prove that a decrease will have a positive effect on wages and employment in the United States. I will first show how the high number of immigrants effect employment and the connection it has to the problem with wages. Then I will site evidence to support that there has been a high influx of immigrants and that it has had a la

Not enough jobs, even among those who claim that positive economic effects flow from immigration, or who downplay the negative effects, there is a general consensus that earlier-arriving immigrants are hurried by the addition of later-arriving immigrants. George Borjas of Harvard University, for instance, has found that a 10 percent increase in immigration populations reduces immigrant wages by 10 percent increase (a staggering statistic, in view of the fact that the 1990 Immigration a increased yearly immigration quotas by 40 percent). One major factor that poor English skills force immigrants who had been professionals their native lands to seek low-skilled jobs in immigrant communities. This swells the number of workers seeking jobs, which depresses wages. While economic theory would suggest that immigration would slow as wages fall, other forces are apparently at work: would - be immigrants often do not know of such wage trends; they may regard even weakened employment opportunities here as superior to those back home; and the may believe that opportunities are better here for their children. The complex econometric models that statisticians use to understand such trends are helpful; they are, however, no substitute for direct observation. For example, Po Wong, director of the Chinese Newcomers Service Center in San Francisco, told National Public Radio that, of 11,000 new arrivals who tried to find work through his agency, only 2 percent were successfully placed. More recently, he told journalist Sanford Ungar. Wattenberg, Ben J. "The National Prospect." Commentary. V100 (Nov. '95), 1995. Pp.110- 35. oclc-fs@oclc.org Jan 27, 1999. Matloff, Norman.
