The richest 10 percent of Mexicans receive 60 percent of the country's income. In contrast, the poorest 30 percent receive a little over 4 percent of it. At present, over 40 percent of Mexico's people are poor. Because of this uneven distribute of income many of Mexicans illegally cross the border to the American side to work and receive money for they send to they’re families back home. Mexico is most resourceful at oil and many different kinds of metal.
Even as the U.S. is going through an economic hardship Mexican immigrants are still increasing in population as time goes on. If we go by the steady population increase from 1970 to 2010, the estimated population of Mexican Immigrants is around 102,000.000 (Hispanics in the United States, 2010). This has created some issues that immigrants have to face. The children to Hispanic Immigrants face a long road as well as their parents as well. Children of immigrant especially illegal immigrants have a very difficult time in schools.
The illegal immigrants are flowing into the USA because they want better lives, better jobs, and some rights they do not receive in their own country. After annexation, all Mexican citizens would be U.S. citizens (savings lots of paperwork and Guest Worker diatribes), eligible for many government programs including Social Security, along with being able to earn the minimum wage which is far above what they get from their employers under the Mexican government. The United States gave Mexico about $69 million in 2006, which is a pittance compared to the unfathomable amounts sent to Colombia and Peru, $561 million and $146 million respectively. Channeling about half of that aid from just those two countries would give Mexico a real boost to begin to rebuild their infrastructure and business climate. The work ethic of the Mexican population is legend, and with good wages the economy would be booming in short
Immigration: A Problem Increasing Every Year Immigration Immigration started back in 1492 with Columbus and the pilgrims when he wanted to discover more land. He was really looking for a quicker route East when he stopped on what is now called America, and people have migrated from that point on. So mostly everyone in America back then was an immigrant. But it wasn’t until the year of 1892, when more than 12 million immigrants made their first stop in America at the Ellis Island Immigration Station. As a matter of fact, more than 40 percent of Americans can trace their family history back to Ellis Island.
In the past ten years, however, Latino migrants have settled and integrated into more areas that have had previously only a small number of immigrants. As a result, changing the work economy and reducing work wages for both U.S. residents and Latinos thus creating a negative attitude and punishing immigrants who work hard and “taking jobs away from” Americans. Ironically, however, most of the wages earned by Latino immigrants are reinvested back into the economy, despite the notion that income is also sent back to their home countries, (The Hispanic Challenge? What We Know About Latino Immigration). Additionally, the social demographics of this group are important because they serve as vital implications for public policy.
border of those attempting to cross into the United States from Mexico without authorization from the Federal government of the United States. The number of deaths has steadily increased since the middle 1990s with exposure (including heat stroke, dehydration, and hyperthermia) being the leading cause. According to the United States Border Patrol, 1,954 people died crossing the U.S–Mexico border between the years 1998-2004. In the fiscal year ending September 29, 2004, 460 migrants died crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. In 2005, more than 500 died across the entire U.S.-Mexico border.
The people they target are the illegal immigrants. Between 400,000 and 700,000, immigrants have entered the United States each year since 1992. Most of illegal immigrants are crossing from the Mexico border. This is costing taxpayers billion of dollars, millions of U.S dollars remitted to Mexico, and immigrants who cross the border
Some family-based immigrants may be highly educated or skilled, but the vast majority of admissions are made without regard for those criteria. The immigrant population reflects the system's lack of emphasis on skill. Nearly 31 percent of foreign-born residents over the age of 25 are without a high school diploma, compared to just 10 percent of native-born citizens. Immigrants trail natives in rates of college attendance, associate's degrees, and bachelor's degrees, but earn advanced degrees at a slightly higher rate (10.9 percent, compared to 10.4 percent for natives). Illegal immigrants are the least-educated group, with nearly 75 percent having at most a high school education.
:D Illegal Immigration The population of the United States is roughly 300 million people; of those people, 11.2 million are illegal. Illegal immigrants (mostly Mexicans) bring with them crime, drugs, and cost the American government billions of dollars yearly. This can greatly decrease the value of a country’s economy. Legal immigrants are a key step to help any nation’s economy thrive and grow (mostly the white ones), but illegal immigrants hinder and dismantle it (mostly the black, brown, and yellow ones). Most illegal immigrants that cross into the U.S. come from Mexico (shocker).
Even in recession time the opportunity to find job for immigrants ten times bigger than Immigrants original country. Like unemployment rate in the United States for may 2012 is 8.2% but in Iraq is 25% (BBCnews.com), and that’s mean its almost impossible to find new job in Iraq because there are plenty of people for Job in this period of time. But immigrants who don't speak English have a hard time doing many of them. Instead, they have to take jobs that don't pay as much money. This makes it very difficult for them to afford many of the things in this country that they hoped to
