There is so much opposition to the fight against illegal immigration in the United States, most of it on the left, and most of it on the left. On the left, Peter Beinart gives this example. In 2005, a leftist blogger wrote, 'Illegal immigration wreaks havoc economically, socially, and culturally. Top service mockery of the rule of law; And is disgraceful just on basic fairness grounds u.s., 'in 2006, a liberal columnist wrote,' immigration reduces the wages of domestic workers who compete with immigrants... The fiscal burden of low-wage immigrants is also pretty clear”. He concludes,' We'll need to reduce the inflow of low-skill immigrants. When I see Mexican flags waved at pro immigration demonstrations, I sometimes feel a flush of patriotic resentment. When I'm forced to use a translator to communicate with the guy fixing my car. I feel a certain frustration.' Blogger is Glenn Greenwald, best known for reporting on the prism Revelations by Snowden in the guardian. The columnist is Paul Krugman, who won the Nobel Prize in economics in 2008 and has written a column for the New York times for years. Senator is Barack Obama.
A decade or more ago, both parties were united in seeing the benefits of illegal immigration while acknowledging the problems that coexist. The 1980s saw an influx of Haitian and Cuban refugees and illegal immigration. President Reagan's solution was the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, which tightened border enforcement while giving existing immigrants a path to legal status. Channelling foreign roadblocks at home was a bipartisan solution.
How the left is 'right' to this point depends on Identity Politics, which became popular in 2008-18. Democrats, who see the Hispanic population growing and who pursue their votes with ethnic politics, increasingly agree that white voters, wary of illegal immigration, can leave as long as they can woo latinos and turn out in high Numbers. In new Mexico, Obama and the Democrats won a sweeping victory in 2008, reinforcing the party's belief that hispanics are the future. The more Hispanic you are, the more likely you are to be influenced by pro-immigrant groups.
Less talked about, but not to be ignored, is the demand for highly educated talent among technology companies, which has led to the movement to open work visas. In 2010, Bloomberg, then the mayor of New york, together with HP, Disney, Boeing and other major companies, formed the New American Economy. In 2013, Zuckerberg teamed up with Bill Gates to create http://FWD.us, a Super PAC. From the start, the movement is blameless -- tech-savvy America needs to attract highly educated people from all over the world, so it needs to encourage this type of legal immigration and ease of work. Zuckerberg described the future of the 'knowledge economy' in the Washington post, demonstrating the importance of competition for talent. 'In a knowledge economy, the most important resources are the talented people we educate and attract to our country. A knowledge economy can scale further. Create better jobs and provide a higher quality of living for everyone in our nation.To lead the world in this new economy, we need the most talented and hardest working people.' The site quickly moved in the direction that any cheap migrant worker should.
Illegal immigrants can raise taxes, improve benefits for their citizens, reduce plans by local companies to outsource business, and lower service costs. On the other side, abuse of benefits, competition for low-skilled jobs, falling average salaries. There is a structural dependence on immigration within the economy -- low-wage, low-security, non unionised, disposable Labour providers.
