Group2: Immigration

Nowadays, there are more than 200-million immigrants around the world. United States has hosted over 20 million immigrants till 2005, and became the second largest country of immigrants in the world. Most immigrants come from Asia and South America. I am from China, where a lot of people want to get the green card of America. According to the statistic of the number of immigrants to US in 2009, the number of Chinese immigrants is the second largest number, followed behind Mexico. There are three waves of Chinese immigration to U.S. in the history. Three waves have different reasons, but all the immigrants have the same dream that is seeking for better lives. The main reason of the first two Chinese immigration waves is avoiding war and unsteady social environment. The majority of Chinese immigration in the third wave, which started from 1980s to today, aim to get better education in U.S.. America can gain a lot of benefits from it. Well-educated immigrants have the ability to produce social wealth. It is no doubt that native Americans can be influenced by immigration, like hard to find jobs. However, everyone is equal in front of opportunities. Chances only show appreciation for qualified people. Employers will not hire employees based on you are native people or immigrants, but based on your ability. With the improvement of immigration laws, America can accept more highly qualified immigrants from all over the world. The benefits of immigration gained by American will far outweigh  the disadvantages.
