Research Topic: Need of Immigration in the United States
Cassidy, John. “Why the United States Needs More Immigrants.” The New Yorker. www.newyorker.com/news/our-columnists/why-the-united-states-needs-more-immigrants
This article offers a discussion on the demographic changes in the American population that could force the country to require more immigrants in the coming decades. It has conducted a thorough analysis as per the current census, thus highlighting the challenges which might be facing America as a result of the increased baby boomer population. The author states how economists and demographers have been warning the government on the problems this demography presents to the future Social Security and Medicare. This article will be useful to evaluate the challenges posed by baby boomer populations and evaluate what basic plans the government has to put in place to control such problems. Besides, it will help discuss ways through which the country could welcome more immigrants.
Cook, Jennifer. “Will Baby Boomers Bankrupt Social Security?” Investopedia, July 1, 2019, www.investopedia.com/articles/personal-finance/022516/will-baby-boomers-bankrupt-social-security.asp
This article discusses what social issues baby boomers will bring to American society. It has done quite a proper research on finding through the use of various sources such as government statistics. It explains how much money the government has to plan to keep into social security so that it can have enough to pay the baby boomers as their retirement income. I will use this article to explain how the government is or should be prepared through a taxation base to give to the whole group of baby boomers a comfortable life. I will be able to analyze whether the impact of baby boomers will have positive or negative effects on the country’s social security and what implications it has on future baby boomers.
Gordon, Jennifer. “Regulating the human supply chain.” Iowa L. Rev. 102 (2016): 445. ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1864&context=faculty_scholarship
According to this article, several immigrants in America are documented while others are not. This article fills this gap by arguing that the employer’s recruitment should focus on migrants from other countries but not employing those who are already in the country but undocumented. They believe this will create a transnational network of labor intermediaries. But it might take a very long period to get the paperwork processed for those who are currently on the waiting list. These groups of people have brought benefits to American economics. This resource will help to adequately describe how it is difficult right now to get a working VISA and move as an immigrant legally to the U.S. It will also help determine the possible economic challenges in the future economy when regulating supply chains.

The authors in this research article revolve around their idea on the future of Americans. Their research shows in the next one or two decades, the population of older adults in American will increase dramatically, thus creating pressure in available opportunities. Notably, they also discuss challenges facing American as a result higher population aged 65 and above who have retired and are unproductive. It also evaluates impacts of population growth and how to respond to those challenges or opportunities for the aging society. For my research topic, this article will help me to explain how increasing population by immigrants will positively impact the lives of Americans by replacing baby boomers who have retired. It will also help explain why the government should import people from outside the country.
McBride, Stephen and Economics, Mauldin. “Baby Boomers are retiring - and it’s going to have a Huge Impact on the Economy.” Business Insider, September 4, 2017, www.businessinsider.com/impact-of-baby-boomers-retiring-on-the-economy-and-stocks-2017-9?IR=T
The authors in this article focus on explaining how much money is needed to pull out from the government to support baby boomers. It offers evaluations of the working-age population in the United States and how it has been acting as a leading indicator of GDP over the decades. It shows consumption rates have been increasing, posing a challenge to the country’s GDP. The authors explain how such actions exact pressure on social security because, after retirement, most parts of their income will rely on social security. This article will help to explain the challenges American is facing due to the increasing need for money from social security. It means the country will need to find more taxpayers to level the expenses. Besides, it will be evidence to support my thesis that America should not have a more substantial limit on immigration.

The authors of this article major their discussion on issues about immigration in the United States because it is the nation with a higher number of immigrants globally. It explains how the U.S. has become a place where immigrant populations have been developing in large amounts over the last decade due to the availability of job opportunities. In the United States, newcomers have been arriving in huge waves seeking better jobs, thus making plentiful and resources unlimited since immigration slowed in the times of economic recessions. I believe this article is essential for my research because it offers several investigations on the immigration movement in the United States. Besides, together with events that have been changing the U.S. economy, it will help me analyze and justify my thesis.
