...Illegal immigration is a destructive act that benefits no one in the United States. If America continues to worry about other countries before itself, it has no chance of improving itself and becoming a better country. Some say it has no effect on the country's economic and social status, but in fact it does significantly. The security of America’s borders would also make the country much safer from harmful terrorists, gangs, and drugs that make their way into the country inconspicuously. Without illegal immigrants in the country Americans would also be able to better enjoy the privileges like education and other social services provided by the taxpayers through the government. With a stop to illegal immigration it opens the door for many great...

...transportation, has witnessed an unprecedented development. This has given such an impetus to international migration that it floods every corner of the world with the momentum of an avalanche. With this comes a substantial increase in the exchange of human capital between nations. Against this background, the pace of international migration keeps accelerating and the scale of it continuesto expand. However, as is often pointed out, international migration is a two-edged sword with dual effects.Nevertheless, the benefits of international migration are in excess of the economic costs. This essay will examine the brain drain and government spending on education problems for origin countries, meanwhile, unemployment problems, wage problems and social service spending for countries of immigration will also be included.(the essay’s structure) Brain drain for origin countries It is believed that international migration does harm to the human capital of origin countries, which is called brain drain.（this is the topic sentence, it is important. Becs readers can understand what you are going to talk about ）Research conducted by Indian households in 2004 shows that about 40% of emigrants have obtained at least a diploma of senior high school, the percentage of which is substantially higher than that of all Indians over the age of 25(TheEconomist,2011)(this is the example.it should be closely linked topic sentence) This suggests that rather than contributing to the human capital accumulation...

...regulations, role of the unions and immigration. Attempt to model the labour market in Australia using the economic model of demand and supply. In particular, demonstrate how you can incorporate in this model the issues of market segmentation according to the difference in workers’ skills as well as the impact of government regulations and immigration. Australia has a total population of approximately 23 million people, a labour force participation rate of 65.1% and an unemployment rate of 5.6% (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2013). The Australian labour market is subject to both government regulation and immigration, which in combination with Unions and differences in worker’s skills (or human capital) create issues of labour market segmentation (Department of Education, Employment & Workplace Relations 2013). Australian labour markets are highly regulated in terms of minimum wage laws (Garnaut, Ganguly & Kang 2003). This creates an unequal distribution of employment to those possessing high levels of human capital, when contrasted to employment of those with low human capital (Garnaut, Ganguly & Kang 2003). This is because minimum wage laws put a potentially binding wage floor on wages paid. Thus, when the labour supply increases for low skilled work; due to immigration or the incentive of minimum wage, the outcome can result in a labour surplus. This is due to the equilibrium wage falling below minimum wage therefore Figure 2A creating unemployment (as illustrated in 1A). Figure...

...Immigration in Human Resources In today’s world, the economy is weak and we are facing a shortage of work and qualified workers. There is much debate over whether or not that statement is completely true. Some people say there is a shortage of work, due to immigrants taking over American jobs, while others say there aren’t enough qualified Americans to fill the open positions. In this paper, I will discuss both views on the topic and provide information from both point-of views to provide my answer to the question: Is the hiring of foreign workers good for business and fair to citizens? Some Say It Is Based on a study from the San Francisco Federal Reserve, an article in The Huffington Post states that immigration increases wages, employment, and productivity. States that have had a large influx of immigrants tended to produce more, hire more, and pay workers more than states that have few new foreign-born workers. For every one percent increase in employment from immigration, a state will see a .4 to .5 percent increase in income per worker. (Hindman) Based on the letter The Effect of Immigrants on U.S. Employment and Productivity (Peri), there is no evidence that immigrant workers take jobs at the expense of citizens. The letter reviews the analysis of how foreign workers affect productivity, income, and employment over a period of time. The study conducted indicates foreign workers may actually increase the job opportunities rather than displacing American workers, based...

Prague, September 30th, 2015 ........................................................ Signature Key words Migration, welfare magnet, public social spending, inflows of migrants, EU’s migratory policy, European welfare system, Turkish welfare system, Turkey, EU-15, gravity model, fixed effect, random effect, Hausman test, country specific fixed effect, time specific fixed effect. Abstract The purpose of this thesis is to analyse which factors drive migration from Turkey towards Europe and whether the welfare benefits play a major role in the decision making process. The analysis is based on a gravitation model of migration in log-log form. The FE and RE methods were employed as estimation techniques and the Hausman test enabled to distinguish them. The present problem of heteroscedasticity was solved by adjusting the model with robust standard errors. The most important determinants appear to be individual’s income which immigrants can earn in the states of the EU-15 and welfare benefits provided by the EU-15. The number of acquisition of citizenship, as a proxy for migration policy of countries the EU-15, plays also important role. The...

Immigration has been a crucial element of the development and generation of revenue for the country. Skilled workers play a vital role in the growth of the Canadian economy and range from general skilled workers, professionals as well as business immigrants and foreign investors. There is evidence demonstrating that immigrants do experience some challenges assimilating and this does cause some fiscal burden as more social support is required. Delays integrating into the social system impact numerous social resources...

...POLITICAL SCIENCE The Rise of Far Right in Europe An analysis based on the article “Far right on rise in Europe” published in “THE GUARDIAN” a study by Demos Thinktank. When thinking of the French presidential elections one may even disregard the fact that Mr.Hollande won and pay more attention to the significantly high score of Mrs.Marine Lepen. Indeed, the latter representing the Far Right Movement arrived third with 17.90%, just behind the Right Movement represented by Mr. Sarkozy with 27.18% and the Left Movement represented by the winner Mr. Hollande with 28.63%. This is extremely high when we know that generally in France, the winner party only scores on average 52%. Some people wonder why this extreme conservative party is gaining more and more credit among French citizens. wasn’t the idea of Human Rights born in France? Isn’t France known for its “liberty, equality, fraternity”? What happened to the country of freedom? In my opinion the three main events that led up to this delicate situation are: the recent economical crisis, the role of Media, and the carelessness of racist discourse. Before I begin my analysis, it is important to say that the support for the Far Right Movement is not exclusive to France but also to several European countries such as Austria, Germany or Switzerland as mentioned in the article. However, I will be essentially focusing on France since it is dear to my heart as I was born and raised there. First, the economic crisis...

...constant underperformance might be due to the high level of minority enrollment throughout the county. This paper uses census and other government data along with school accountability report cards to show that border proximity negatively impacts the performance of a school. While economic and immigration factors are probably not the only reason for this, this paper uses state testing reports and population demographics to compare the schools side by side and account for the difference in school achievement. 1. Introduction The economy of Imperial County ranks among the lowest in the state. This, in turn, reflects heavily on the level of academic achievement in the three main high schools. In addition to this, the county is also home to a large immigrant population, attributed to the proximity with Mexico and large farming sector. However, it is interesting to note the difference in school performance and how they relate with how far away they are from the international border. Taking a number of factors into account, we should observe a lower level of achievement in the school closest to the border. This paper attempts to examine the relationship between school performance and immigration. Specifically, does the higher level of minority students affect academic performance as a whole? This paper will examine the distance from the border, median household income, percentage of minority population, and test scores, among other factors to find that Calexico High School is the...
