Immigration reform and the US economy
Posted by Stephen Cline on March 10th, 2010There are many folks who are very concerned about the question of immigration reform in the US. This is rather surprising because over the last 300 years or so, America has been a country of immigrants. If you did not have people coming from the different parts of the world this country would not have grown to be the rich and advanced nation that it has grown to be. You had people coming in from the UK, all of Europe, many nations of Asia and settling down in this country. These people started calling the USA there home and worked hard to make it the most powerful and wealthiest nation on the planet.
Now that the economy is going through tough phase, there are some who are calling out for immigration reform. This is justified to some extent, because there are many illegal immigrants who are pouring in from Mexico in to the country. These people do not have any real skills and technical education to boast of. That is why there is such a great hue and cry about immigration reform. The government is planning to bring about a law to ensure immigration reform. This is welcome as long as it is balanced and just.
