¶ … 2005, the British publication, The Economist, published an article regarding immigration and the parties who benefit from it. At the time, a decade ago, Prime Minister Tony Blair failed in his attempt to rally support against illegal immigration throughout the European Union (EU). Countries across the continent experienced intense political division regarding this issue. Those who favored politics argued for illegal immigration to cease; those who prioritized economics supported immigration, legal or otherwise. The article explains that to ease tensions within the British government, Blair proposed official supporting of legal immigration and the intensification of stopping illegal immigration. Blair ensured that the administration and bureaucracy regarding legal immigration was streamlined. The article then proceeds to question which parties in society benefit from immigration and how.
Immigration, from the perspective of The Economist is an occurrence that should be calculated, regulated, and firmly enforced. The article questions who benefits from immigration; why should this question be asked? Meaning, what is the point or what is the benefit of this question? Who benefits from this question being asked? This question does not seem relevant. Questions about immigration are necessary and inevitable, but this question seems rather useless. Who benefits from immigration? Who cares? It does not really matter who benefits from immigration....
Immigration is a fact of life in every country. Immigration and emigration happen constantly.
Immigration is supposed to benefit everyone ideally. Immigration helps the people who are immigrating, as there is a reason why they are and typically people move with the intention of a higher quality of life than what they presently have. Furthermore, immigration is supposed to enrich and benefit the community into which the immigrants immigrate. Though there may be difficulties and obstacles from many angles of the process, the potential benefits remain steady.
Perhaps the article should have been more specific in the topic. Instead of questioning who benefits from immigration, the question should have been more along the lines of who benefits from the regulation of immigration? That is a much more relevant and engaging question with potential for interesting discoveries. Before this reader could even engage the text, the process could not happen completely because of the central question, which this reader found pointless and counterproductive. The latter question more aligns with the content of the text anyway, but the slight change in semantics makes a huge deal for this reader and perhaps others. Moreover, if the author approached the article with the proposed question in mind, much of the present text could be used in addition to more relevant details. There is no mention of the social, cultural, and educational benefits of…

U.S. Hispanic Groups Mexican-American The Mexican-American population in the United States represents the largest Hispanic demographic in terms of population size (Lipski, 2003, p. 223) and accordingly has a relatively large impact on the form of Spanish spoken in the U.S. In areas where Hispanics of Mexican descent dominate, such as the Southwest and some Midwestern cities, Mexican Spanish is the only form represented in advertising, schools, and on television and radio
The advent of World War II saw and end of the period of economic turmoil and massive unemployment known as the Great Depression, and thus was a time of increased opportunity for many of the nation's citizens and immigrants, but the experiences of some groups during and following the war were far less positive than others. Some of this was due to the different histories that different immigrant groups
When economic conditions plummet, as they did in 2008, anti-immigrant sentiment may increase even more. Blaming immigrants is a popular pastime but it doesn't change the facts. Conclusion As America braces for a bruising round of political debate on the immigration issue, having a sense of which facts are accurate and which are myths will help both citizens and policy-makers. Welfare reform and immigration reform policies can change the process for
The 16th Amendment was the first to be passed in the 20th century. It allowed incomes to be taxed as a clear response to the Supreme Court decision in the Pollock v Farmers' Loan and Trust Company (Fonder and Shaffrey 2002). Congress previously passed an income tax law in 1894, which the Supreme Court found to be unconstitutional, not being divided among the states by population. Before the 16th Amendment,
So who is an American and what an America can or cannot do are questions which are critical to the issue of legalizing immigrants. Does being an American mean you cannot show allegiance to any other country? The images of people raising and waving Mexican flag had enraged many but it need not have. It should be accepted that people who come from different countries would forever hold in their
Mexico U.S. Drug Trade Border The challenges of an extremely volatile economy are significant in any culture or population but one of the starkest situations today is the extreme variation between the economies of Mexico and the United States, which shares a 3,000-mile long border. The variations of the economies are so extreme and poverty is such a challenge in Mexico that hundreds of thousands and possibly millions of people cross
