What Does Immigration Actually Cost Us Edsall Analysis

In his article What Does Immigration Actually Cost Us by Thomas B. Edsall he shows us the ups and downs to immigrants in our country. Edsall does a good job of explaining both sides the democratic and republican views of this argument. He shows us some of the benefits for business. Edsall states the main benefit of immigrants in our country the benefit is for businesses. Edsall explains how the fact that immigrants will work for less money making the business more profitable for the owners and investors. There is a downside to this as Edsall says they are taking positions that Americans can be doing basically they are making it more of a challenge to get jobs. More downsides highlighted by Edsall shows the estimated costs of supporting the
Edsall pulls the fact that a little under half of voters say immigrants are a burden to our country. Edsall states that the immigrants sending their money to their homeland is one of the bigger issues if they spent more in America it would not hurt as bad. Edsall states that most of the minorities that are here legally have family or friends that are here illegally. Edsall explains how that will affect the election on November eighth.
