Profitable Immigrants or How to Pay for Those who Built the Country
For big powerful countries with strong economies, immigration and its impact have always been a controversial problem. As an international student, I have faced all strictness of immigration verification and policies. This has been going on since I decided to study in United States. By analogy of my experience if take an account that I am an international student, not an immigrant, I can imagine how it can be difficult to immigrate to everybody desired United States. Through my challenges, I started to think about why is it so complicated to come to United States, about immigrants and how hard it is for them.
let`s think about ratio between those smart immigrants and other immigrants. There are 4.3 million Chinese immigrants (Kristen McCabe) and 3.19 million Indian immigrants (Chidanand Rajghatta) in United States but only less than 40 people in this situation, students were finalists at Intel Science Talent show. Even if we take full number of finalists as Chinese and Indian immigrants, they are only represent 0.0005 percent of them from those 7.49 million of Chinese and Indians and this number is only from Chinese and Indians who are considered educated immigrants in United states. What if consider full number of all immigrants and add in our consideration their level of education? According to Stephan Steinlight, 30 percent of Mexican immigrants have not fully finished school and 62 percent have no school diploma at all (p1). In addition if we take number of Mexican immigrants to that 0.0005 percent of “smart” immigrants, “smart” immigrants will disappear, due to this miniscule percentage in comparison to uneducated immigrants. From this analysis we clearly can see that profitable “quality”, in our case quality is level of education, of immigrants should be controlled by government. It is difficult to make and agree with such a serious statement by looking only on those 40 finalists and watching only that Intel Science Talent Show. At the same time
I clearly can see how people look at me when I speak in my native language, I can clearly see how people react when I say “Assalamualleykum” to the other Muslims. I feel it even if I look like a white race person. I can imagine how people from Asia, Latin America and especially people form Middle East feel. In this case if government will control and let immigrate only educated immigrants who can be profitable in something for country it would be fair for both and for those who built this country and for those who build it.
