Do immigrants

Do immigrants disturb the U.S. economy?
Many are interested or concerned when it comes to immigration. While a number of immigrants are working at low wages, some of them has achieved high goal in education and in business. America is a country of great opportunities, they come in here with nothing and reach high goals. Reisman, author of “Capitalism: a Treatise on Economics”, is a good example as an Emeritus Professor at Pepperdine University. He said that “ talent requires freedom in order to flourish”. For example, Albert Einstein was a brilliant scientist and also an immigrant who became a United States citizen in 1940. By his scientific works, he has changed the face of America in the world in many ways, and “He is perhaps the most well-known scientist of the 20th century” (Inventor 12). If we did restrict immigration at that time, the world would not have benefited from the mind Einstein. In American Immigration, Daniels acknowledges that “ much of the research that developed the atomic bomb was done by refugee scientists such as the Italian Enrico Fermi, the Hungarian Leo Szilard, and the Australian Lise Meitner” (15).

In Immigration Policy, Simon notes that “ there were a lot of Vietnamese and other Asian immigrants youth who achieve distinction in completion ...”. Talented people come to America because they believe that America is the only place on earth that would allow their minds to attain greatness and perfection. Many immigrants possess extraordinary talent, but their native countries do not have a system in place to exploit their knowledge, as does America. Barone, a Senior Writer for U.S. News and World and principal coauthor of the Almanac Politics wrote, “without the immigrants the United States would face a severe shortage of engineers and scientists”(264).

Most immigrants are successful businessmen. As a matter of fact, America is the best place for risk takers to materialize their dreams. Besides working hard, Immigrant entrepreneurs tend to succeed in a dynamic economy because they are innovative and mobile” (Simon 61).
