Abstract
The United States has been called the land of immigrants. In fact, an overwhelming majority of the US population is made up of people who are either themselves immigrants or are descendents of immigrants. The US continues to attract immigrants from all parts of the world. Over the years, with the number of immigrants growing, the US government introduced several acts to regulate immigration. Post-9/11, the US government has tightened immigration regulations. The case discusses the effects of immigration on the demography, economy and society of the US. It also discusses the importance of immigration policy for the US economy. It also attempts to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of immigration for the US. While some analysts believed that immigration contributed to lower wages, higher taxes and increasing poverty levels in the US, there were others who believed that immigration led to 'brain gain' and higher economic growth. The supporters of immigration argued that the advantages of immigration far outweighed the disadvantages. The case ends with a discussion on the future impact of immigration on the US economy.
