Is immigration good or bad for America

Immigration evokes heated debates as it is seen to contribute to the erosion of American values. Immigrant often settle in ethnic enclaves, tend to speak their native languages, gravitate in their religion and social events to enable cultural continuity (Hirschman, 2014). The move poses as failure to integrate and assimilate American culture. Again, immigration is viewed to reduce wages for native workers. Since immigrants are often less skilled, they offer cheap labor introducing job competition pushing down wages and slowing the adoption of labor-saving technologies (Lewis, 2011). Arguments for immigration indicate that immigrants learn English to find employment and co-exist in the U.S (Hirschman, 2014). America is built on diversity which should be encouraged without discrimination. Other research shows that immigration has negligible effects of wages (Edo, Ragot, Rapoport, Sardoschau, & Steinmayr, 2018). Immigration brings in both skilled labor providing expertise and unskilled labor to take on low-paying jobs the natives discriminate balancing out the effects.

Due to the insufficient and opposing research on immigration, I feel that reviewing the topic through comprehensive evaluation on the net benefit and losses to the economic and social aspects will bring an end to the debate while providing reliable evidence for sustainable solutions.
