Economic Immigration

C surrenderz Department of Chicana and Chicano Studies at the University of California, Los Angeles. He has a Ph. D. n political science from the University of Chicago. The thesis statement or main argument of this article is the following, Comprehensive in-migration reform that legalizes currently unauthorized immigrants and creates flexible legal limits on future immigration in the mount of full labor rights would help American workers and the U. S economy. Clearly the main goal of this Dr. OJeda writing this idea is shed light on the many economic benefits for the United States if a comprehensive immigration renewal law was passed.Some of the evidence used by the author to validate the his thesis is for xample this excerpt from the article, The historical ingest of legalization under the 1986 Immigration Reform and catch Act indicates that comprehensive immigration reform would terminate wages, increase consumption, create Jobs and generate additional tax revenue. Even tho ugh the Immigration Reform and lead Act was implemented during a period that included a recession and high unemployment (1990-1991), it still helped climb wages and spurred increases in educational, home, and small business investments by newly legalized immigrants.Taking the experience of the Immigration Reform and Control Act as a starting point, e estimate that comprehensive immigration reform would event at least $1. 5 trillion in added U. S gross domestic product (GDP) all over 10 years. (Ojeda, 2012, 176) I am an immigrant from Mexico myself and I know the struggle that goes on each and every daytime in the lives of illegal immigrants. I moved here when I was 4 years old and have been raised in a Mexican-American culture.I love this country and consider myself an American, this country has provided for me the path to live reveal my dreams and be whatever I choose to be in life, and for that I will always be grateful. Just last ear thanks to the Deferred Action law that was put into effect, more than 700,000 undocumented students equal for a 2 year work/study permit, a chance to get a drivers freedom and to finally have legal standing and documentation in this country.The effect it will have on the future of the United States is a positive one and will benefit the growth of the country in many sectors greatly. I strongly believe this article is crucial to the United States we live in right away and to the future of the United States. It exposes a lot of myths and calms a lot of worries concerning whether or not comprehensive immigration reform would help the country at all.
