The issue of "liberal immigration of non-professionals" can be compared to a similar process going on in the European Union. As we know, 10 new countries, many of them from Central and Eastern Europe, have joined the European Union in May 2004. This meant a high increase in the number of non- professionals who now had free access to the European labor force market. Second of all, the countries that have not yet entered the European Union, but are due in 2007 (Romania and Bulgaria), no longer face the visa requirements and many non- professionals from these countries have gone West in search of work. The obvious consequence of this measure was that, similarly to the United States, a certain surplus on the labor market is quite noticeable. Such a surplus and the difference between high offer and lower demand mean a reduced possibility of reducing unemployment, both in the United States and the European Union.
B. Again, the comparison with the European Union comes to mind. Here too, anti-trust and competition regulation find themselves facing the same problem: how can one limit the overwhelming monopoly power on a national basis, but, at the same time, maintain powerful companies for the increasingly competitive global environment?
Any anti-trust...

Immigration Ethics and Social Responsibility: Immigration and Amnesty in the United States The question of immigration, especially in this country, is ever-present. From our past, and well into our future, the United States will be a nation of immigrants. However, as political candidates raise a number of questions relating to immigrants south of the border, one must wonder about how immigration has grown into such a hotly debated issue, and how it is
We can see that minority status has far less to do with population size, and instead seems very much to be inclined by race, ethnicity and political power instead. This label of minority status is in many ways used as a tag by which certain groups are detained from political unity or effectiveness. To a large degree, this is a condition which relates to the nature of the Hispanic demographic,
Workplaces that are dangerous for immigrant workers are equally dangerous for their U.S.-born counterparts who work beside illegal immigrants. Illegal immigrants may come to U.S. shores with the aim of bettering their lives, but instead find themselves in poorly-paid, dead end, and unsafe jobs without access to legal recourse or health insurance -- and increasingly, U.S. workers are finding themselves in the same position. "The immigration controversy revolves around questions
The 'Reuniting Families Act' would also try to increase the current per country limit of 7% to 10% for the issuing of green cards. This bill, if passed, would also permit widows, widowers and children of those persons who die before the completion of the immigration process to get LPR status. (Shank, Michael Honda to Announce Key Component of Comprehensive Immigration Reform: Reuniting Families); (Reuniting Families Act-2009); (Honda, The
Immigration Fallacy The Existential Fallacy Behind Arizona's Immigration Policy Few issues currently featured in American public debate are clouded by as much emotional bias, invective and distortion as that of immigration reform. Particularly as this concerns America's shared border with Mexico, immigration is a discussion which carries significant political ramification, clear racial overtones and distinctions in ideology where American openness is concerned. As a result, many political figures have been moved to
