Immigration – A Common Debate for the American Population

Immigration has always been a controversial topic among the American population, especially when it comes to foreigners residing in the US undocumented, that is, people who crossed the borders without prior authorization or exceeded their temporary residence permits.

There are a myriad of opinions among local citizens regarding how the federal government should approach legal immigration and address mass irregular immigration, which usually vary between strict and restrictive ideals, more flexible and welcoming ideals, and neutral ideals.

However, how much do we really know about immigration and its impact on major sectors of the country such as the economy? And, where do certain immigration ideals come from? Well, Motion Law Immigration’s team, through constant and exhaustive research, has come to the conclusion that when there are reliable sources and in-depth analysis of the role of immigration on the American society, welcoming immigration ideals tend to outweigh strict and restrictive ideals.

In fact, in one of our most recent articles we talked about a study that reveals that dehumanizing, restrictive and limiting immigration ideals and policies are primarily related to misinformation. This is mainly because to understand the real impact of immigration is to know the benefits it brings to the US, that is, its contribution to the economy, culture, society and education.

Expert comments on the advantages of immigration

The debate surrounding immigration has grown considerably since the beginning of the year, even more so than at other times. This is because, on the one hand, the US is experiencing a surge of illegal border crossings that exceeds last decades’ numbers and, on the other hand, the 2020 National Census revealed that the country had the lowest population growth since 1930, which may have a devastating impact on the economy for the following years and decades to come.

Therefore, there have been multiple researches, studies and reports analyzing the role of immigration considering the low birth rate and the alarming shortage of qualified workforce across the country.

To give a specific example, an expert on the subject recently commented that immigration is still an advantage for the US compared to other world powers such as China or Russia. This is mainly because North America is still the destination for thousands of foreigners annually, who have multiple purposes such as completing their higher education, starting entrepreneurship projects or gaining work experience in a local company.

According to his opinion, “Immigration can supply hard-working and ambitious new Americans who start businesses at twice the rate of US-born. They populate our military, produce and consume goods and services, increase our GDP (Gross Domestic Product), contribute to taxes, and support the retirement of the Baby Boomers.”

At this point it is important to explain that, like the North American territory, other first-world countries such as China are experiencing a substantial decline in population growth, but the US still has immigration on its side, an advantage it must continue to cultivate to attract the brightest minds from abroad.
