IMMIGRATION AND THE ECONOMY
The United States has been populated by peoples from many different national origins, races, religions, cultures, and languages. Over 50 million people chose to immigrate to the United States between 1820 and 1987. These immigrants believed that the United States offered better opportunities for them and their children than did their countries of origin. In an important sense, the American experience is the story of how these very different peoples, united by their search for a better life, built a country.
To build a country means to build an economy that is why I think it’s very important to analyze the impact of immigration on American economy, the biggest in the world. So, I would like to create a new category, where I will tell you about immigration and the economy.
