The same case also occurred in Australia. More than 66,000 foreigners were allowed to work there as long as they were capable through it. Moreover, Australia gives the immigrants chance to be permanent residents after stay up for four years (Lebrain 2009). If the number of immigrants as much as this, no wonder if indigenous peoples’ job were taken by the qualified immigrants. Furthermore, Dustmann, Frattini and Preston studies were also stated that every immigrant’s wages increasing for 1%, there was a decrease for 0.3% for the native people (Dustmann, Frattini, Preston, 2014).
In 2010 several hundred million people immigrated to the United States increasing the total U.S. population to approximately 340 million, and by the year 2050 it is estimated that with immigration this population will reach 397 million (Immigration To The United States, 2013). With this increase in immigration a concern for immigration restriction is increasingly becoming a more important aspect of the country’s public administration. There are various aspects surrounding the ethical issues of immigration. Some of these, and those issues that I will not touch upon, include the “definition and moral status of refugees, the circumstances (if any) in which it is permissible to use guest workers [and,] what obligations [the] country [might] incur [should] it actively [recruit] skilled workers from a poor state” (Wellman, 2010). For the purpose of this paper, my research is aimed at the ethics of immigration restriction.
American Indians, African American and Asian Americans are some of the larger racial minorities in U.S. history. It is listed that African Americans average population is 12.9%. Asian Americans are at 4.6% today but that amount is changing rapidly. There are around 500,000 people that enter this country legally from Mexico every year, but at least 500,000 more cross the border illegally. It is said about 61% of all those who enter the
The Immigration and Naturalization Service estimates that in January of 2000 there were 7 million illegal aliens living in the United States, a number that is growing by half a million a year. Thus, the illegal-alien population in 2006 is estimated to be about 10 million (Illegal). It is said that this number is much lower than the actual figure. Nearly 210,000 aliens are believed to have died or returned home on their on account. In addition, 63,000 were removed by the INS and 183,000 were awarded green cards, and therefore deemed legal (Illegal).
Since then America has forgotten the huge role immigration has played throughout history and the contribution it led to the development of America, as well. U.S immigration has brought upon the debate for the future of American jobs, impacts, and benefits. Statistics demonstrate that immigration has helped the United States with employment by adding jobs and bringing in more tax payers adding a positive effect on the United States. Before the recession, when the economy was expanding (2000-2007), 60 percent of the net increase in employment among the working-age went to immigrants. Even though they accounted for just 38 percent of the population, immigrants still took majority of the jobs in the United States (Camarota, Zeigler).
“American Immigrants” The writer Swerdlow in this writing goes from the early years of how American schools went from being all Anglo-American to becoming predominantly all foreigners. Meaning people from other countries. He states the year the school first opened in 1959 and then how during the mid-90s how millions of immigrants impacted the schools makeup. He even uses a picture of Asian and Hispanic students going to the prom. Swerdlow also uses a lot of census data to further prove his story and make it more factual.
MULTICULTURALISM AND IMMIGRATION TODAY Throughout the history of the United States, immigration has not been limited to individuals from those countries which made up the majority of immigrants during a given period; there have been time spans of relatively high emigration from various parts of the world that may not be obvious in a list of the countries from which most immigrants arrive. . Additionally, the United States has had a history of forced immigration. This practice began early in the settlement of the Americas with the system of indentured servitude for poor Europeans, who, while "choosing" to emigrate from their homes, were forced to choose between likely death by starvation, and relocation, which ultimately represents an obligation
Eleven percent of these immigrants have been from Germany and 10 percent from Mexico. Two centuries of immigration and integration. The U.S. immigration system recognizes 800,000 to 1 million foreigners a year as legal immigrants and during that same period admits 35 million nonimmigrant tourist and business visitors and has another 300,000 to 400,000 unauthorized foreigners settle. Info from where? During the 1990s, there were often contentious debates over immigrants and their children as beneficiaries of the U.S. educational, welfare, and political systems, or, more broadly, over whether the immigration and integration system served U.S. national interests and at the same time enabled immigrants and their children to integrate successfully.
As history would show, this legal immigration led to illegal immigration and foreshadowed today’s debate on these topics. Immigration in February of 1928 about the burden of the unrestricted flow of Mexicans on the state’s taxpayers, prisons, hospitals and American workers’ wages. He estimated that while 67,000 Mexicans entered the U.S. legally the prior year, many times that number entered illegally. I believe that today’s high level of illegal immigration originated during the war years of the early 1940s. Labor shortages caused the federal government to set up a program to import Mexican laborers to work temporarily in agriculture, primary in the Southwest.
Researchers, supported by Deloitte, Goldman Sachs, Pfizer and Time Warner, conducted 2,952 surveys of working-aged men and women and gathered qualitative and quantitative data to conclude that many Asian-Americans, whether immigrant or native born, find it hard to "fit in" the upper management ranks. The projected percentage increase between 2008 and 2050 in the population of people who identify themselves as Asian in the United States will increase by one hundred and sixty-one percent, which compares with a forty-four percent increase in the population as a whole over the same period of time. There will be approximately forty million United States residents by the year 2050 that identify themselves as Asians and hold about nine percent of the population in the United
