. This happens because of supply-and-demand economy, the more of something there is, the less value it has therefore the unnatural import of alien workers degrades the value of low skilled natives and earlier immigrants (“Immigration Lowers Wages” , 1998). Consequently, Americans that have higher wage expectations are often displaced by immigrants and if not their wages are lowered to meet the wages of immigrants. This is caused not only by immigrants but also by high-immigration cheerleaders that claim that U.S. economy needs the immigration. Nevertheless, more truthful would be that business people are not interested in hiring Americans because the people who come from outside are cheaper. However, they ignore the detrimental effect that importing workers has on American workers, particularly low-skilled natives, and earlier immigrants. By artificially inflating the number of workers in our country, immigration lowers the value of workers, and wages are depressed. The low-skilled immigration workers could be responsible for about 50 percent of wage-loss, as Government research suggests, and the effect is visible especially in high immigration cities (“Immigration Lowers Wages” , 1998). These cities have about 48 percent lower wage increase as low-immigration cities therefore many poor natives are moving from high-immigration areas to other cities searching for higher earnings. The immigration of foreigners to American cities is therefore triggering a second internal migration, away from high-immigration cities by poor natives who in many cases have trouble competing with them for jobs. Therefore, the antipathy against immigrants grows in cities with high immigration where natives are earning less (“Immigration Lowers Wages” , 1998). Other key problem of immigration is that opponents argue that the costs of the immigrants to American society are enormous. In the year 1996, the overall im...
