Immigrants

Immigrants have much more positives to offer in a society contrary to the log held opinion that much of societies uncouth behaviors are as a result of intergration of different cultures. Over the years, many of the world misfortunes have been directly linked to immigrants coming into a foreing country to settle. Such catastrophies like the 9/11 attack in the United States, the Kidnappings and murder, violent crime as a result of poverty and many other incidents have been traditionally thought to come by because of immigration.

 

However, current research is showing a different trend that immigrants bring in more benefit to the society than previously thought. For example, current research depicts that the rate of criminal incidents in America is significantly low among the immigrants compared to the natives. Although many enter the country illegally, this does not mean that the are criminally predisposed. There are other economic and work related benefits that immigration has on a nation. Clearly, immigrants to English speaking countries are adding more value to the English speaking countries compared to the natives.

 

Currently, America’s debt has continuously resine to about 16 trillion dollars and its economic growth is still around two percent. Also, the labor market participation and job creation is very low. In the low-skilled labour force market, immigrants offer reduction in labour shortages and promote economic efficiency since their educational qualifications cover up the native’s labour market. A majority of the immigrants are naturally inclined to entrepreneurship building companies, creating jobs and also promoting innovation in America and other English speaking countries.

 

On the other hand, the well educated immigrants drive productivity and inventions in the business world. For example, majority of the immigrants coming from the Asian countries like China, Japan and Korea have contributed significantly to science and major inventions in the Americas in the transport and health care sector. Also, some celebrated scholars contributing immensely in the education sector such as in the public universities, were once immigrants who excelled to become authorities in diverse subjects. The result of this increased labour force means an improved economy over time thus making the nation a better place to live.

 

Immigrants also promote crime reduction in the nation they settle in. Research shows that whle the number of immigrants has increased since the year 1999 to about twelve million immigrants in the United States today, the level of criminal incidents tied to immigrants has significantly reduced compared to those commited by born and bred natives. According to the report released by the FBI, the crime rated during the period of 1999 to date has reduced by 48%. Also, incidences of aggravated assault, rape, robbery, property crime rate and murder has reduced by 41%.

 

The report further mentioned that for every ethnic community without exception, incarceration especially among the youth is very low compared to the natives. Also, cases of antisocial behavior among the natives is documented as high compared to those reported among the immigrants. Native born citizens were four times more likely to commint criminal acts compared to immigrants of Asian, Latin and African communities in America. Paradoxically, immigrants are the citizens who are most socially advantaged yet they have significant low cases of criminal activities in the foreign lands. Thus, immigrants ad value to the country in more ways compared to native borns.

 

Although Immigrants have constinuosly faced linguistic discrimination and other marginalizing acts, everyone at one point in life is subject to this kind of discrimination in the society. For example, immigrants in the British nation from different ethnic groups have with time developed a new dialect with unique accent only recognizeable by the users. Researchers call this dialect in Hackeney monophthongs. The teenegaer who have developed this distict vocublary identify themselves as unique and separate themselves from the natives who may not have.

 

Though it is strongly associated with Black British teenagers, it is in fact used much more widely and it is rapidly spreading . Also, in different nations, there are cases where linguistic discrimination occurs especially in employment related cases. For example, there are specific job requirements where English, French, Swahili, Spanish or any other language is a mandatory requirement for one to be considered for the position. Furthermore, the level of the language proficiency is always put as a yardstick to measure whether one person can be considered for the job offer.

 

In conclusion, immigrants have over time struggled to assimilate and intergrate with the host community in tremendous ways. Also, the immigrants has added value to nations economically, in terms of increased labour force, reduction in crime and job creation. Amidst the challenge of linguistic discrimination, and other forms of unfair practices that all face in the world today, immigrants prove to be more of an asset to a nation rather than a liability. Thus, in comparison to the natives of a country, immigrants are much better in value addition to the economy of a nation.
