THA 3 1.) Unemployment rate for U.S. Citizens will decrease with immigrants gone if you would like to add anything to my answer you can a. Illegal immigration equals virtually free labor, worker are willing to work extra hard for very low pay in local low-skill jobs (farm, construction, etc) therefore many low-skill Americans are unemployed. Legal qualified immigrants increase more productivity and profitability than Americans with PhDs leaving many Americans in high demand job fields (business, internet, food, furniture, apparel, etc) unemployed. With immigrants gone Americans will have more job opportunities available without having to settle for less pay or benefits. b. (My answer)With so many positions now available more of the remaining citizens will be able to now have jobs. Even with the pay being very minimal more Americans will have the opportunity to apply and receive the jobs. Jobs that skilled immigrants had will now fall to Americans that had the same skill qualities allowing for those Americans now to become employed. Benefits may not be great in the beginning, but will come along as positions are filled and products demanded are sold. Pay increases will also depend on products demanded and sold.

2.) With immigrants gone wages will decrease since this is the answer you selected we needed more factual as to how they will become poorer based of the information in our slides, lectures, or book readings. I combined some things I read in the slides with your answer c. Many American companies will lose their low-labor-cost advantages and won’t be able to compete domestically against cheaper imports and globally against producers from low-wage countries d. Cheap immigrants increase competitiveness of American companies and with immigrants gone many jobs may have to be eliminated e. No skilled employees,
