The Immigration article that I chose to review this week was found on October 20, 2008. It is about the hard time that immigrant laborers have finding jobs because of the current economic situation that we are in. Experts link this to the collapse of the housing market and the lack of new building projects. This correlation makes sense to me because even my family has decided to wait on home improvement of our own. Also the article says that many of those that are vying for the positions are illegal immigrants. There is a quote from one of these such immigrants that says that he can no longer send money home. Them sending money home is one of the things that I find wrong with the current immigration views. It is actually cheaper to send money to another country than it is to send it across the country. This sends money from our own economy to another country’s. This will just add to the economic downturn causing there to be even less jobs for them. So in all actuality they only have themselves to blame for their lack of employment.
