Immigration Is Good

I am writing about just on the pro side of this issue. It will be short, but I really want to get to the point with only a few words.

Many people believe that immigration is terrible because they take away the American's chances of getting jobs. Well, according to Davidson, "the most recent studies show that most Americans would notice little difference in their paychecks if illegal immigrants suddenly disappeared from the United States . That's because most Americans don't directly compete with illegal immigrants for jobs." The Jobs that they take are minimum wage jobs anyway. (Davidson)

Our economy would stall if we didn't have immigration. We shouldn't even argue that immigration is bad because at one point that was how this country was made, through immigration. If we would to make immigration illegal, then all of us should go back to where our ancestors were. No? You don't want to? Then stay, but we cannot make it illegal because we would be breaking the law ourselves.

Another reason to keep immigration is scarcity. We do not have enough resources to produce all of our wants. Therefore, if we had more employers then some of those employers can work to make more resource while the others use those resources. To make the production possibility curve bigger, we need to let our population grow to improve the efficiency and to increase our economic growth. We also would have higher prices if it weren't for the immigrants.

I hope you like it.
