Entrepreneurship and Hope in America

Paper Summary:

This paper examines the motivation for immigrants flocking to the United States in order to find a better life, personally and professionally. According to this author, America is so attractive to immigrants because it provides opportunities for all races and guarantees that one will not be discriminated on the basis of his race, national origin, gender or age. The paper also examines why there is a very high rate of entrepreneurship among the immigrant population and discusses the significance of the hotel and restaurant business to their initial successes in America. The paper then discusses the state of immigrant's rights since the September 11th attack, detailing some of the new policies that have been enacted as a reaction to this horrible tragedy and details some of the arguments against the new policies that have been proposed in order to monitor immigration more carefully. This paper argues that taking away the rights of immigrants is violating the constitutional rights and that America cannot take away the rights of immigrants and not the natives without violating the Constitution.

From the Paper:

"Communication is mandatory if official business agreements and contracts are to be truly fair on both sides. If immigrants come to America and are not fluent in the English language, then many opportunities are automatically denied to them. 3) Many immigrants will opt to turn away from investments, major purchases, franchises and many other privileges this country has to offer them because it is less frustrating to accept a lower quality of life then to attempt to communicate with highly educated citizens on a professional level. In these particular cases, immigrants are not deliberately denied equal rights, but they are missing out on equal opportunities and privileges they were promised on receiving their citizenship. Only recently has it been recognized as an indirect violation of their constitutional rights. To solve this problem, many bilingual programs are now being offered to immigrants who do not know how to speak English. Many of these programs are free, available to adults and children."
