Immigration: Its Economic Impact Persuasive Essay by Jay Writtings LLC

The paper reveals that whatever the cause for immigration, the fruits of immigrant labor have benefited, and will continue to benefit, the American economy. The paper looks at some of the foreign-born Americans who helped change the U.S. economy. The paper also examines the assertion that the flood of poorly educated, non-English speaking hordes from Mexico, Central and South America drain welfare rolls, healthcare and education facilities and shows how immigrants can cause a financial burden to American taxpayers. The paper concludes, however, that immigration is not so much an ethnic problem, nor a religious, health or educational one; it is an economic issue since we need the immigrants to do the hard and unpleasant tasks American citizens will not do. The paper strongly believes that the debate on immigration should not be concerned with anything other than the economic impact immigrants make on the nation as a whole.
