Immigration in the United States
Due to the popularity of immigration in the United States, research sees it as a complicated occurrence that has also acted as a resource for high population levels within the country. Over the course of America’s history, immigration has consistently been associated with the wide cultural changes in the country due to the movement of other diverse immigrants into the respective community. However, with immigration linked to such positive aspects, the process has been blamed as a harbinger of negative events such as crime, restricted social mobility, and considerable gaps in income. The immigration process possesses various benefits. Foremost, it allows for the growth of an economy to be maintained. Accordingly, the settlement of foreigners into a country gives it the chance to expend finances on the resources it provides. This is particularly correct since most immigrants usually go to other international states in search of a better life. Secondly, immigration can assist in the closure of vacancies and skills within the job sector. A country may lack a significant and capable labor force for certain obligations. In this case, the movement of immigrants allows the respective economy to focus on employing and training new personnel in order to fill such gaps. Thirdly, immigration enriches the host country’s culture. Allowing the process to take place eventually enables the movement of people from different cultural backgrounds and nationalities to settle within a single setting. Consequently, the movement of foreign people into a country for residency can also change or fill the pension gap due to contributions made by a young and employed immigrant demographic to the economy. Lastly, immigration can boost the maintenance of services offered to the elderly especially in instances whereby the youth are insufficient locally.
