Should A Country Have Immigration Quotas Based On Country of Origin? Should Immigrants Become Citizens? Should Countries Allow "Guest Workers" ?


Every country has their own laws and regulations. Every person has their own perspectives. As for quotas based on a country of origin, in my opinion it would not be appropriate. In the case of the US., many people dream to come here to see a more civilized world. And so did I. Some people have their strong beliefs that one day they would come here and begin new lives.

Recently I think US government is very serious about this issue. Many people come to US and never come back or what they call "Immigrants". If the government create the law for immigrants for example a quotas based on country origin, this issue would become more serious. People would find the way to come to US more illegally and violently. For example, they may come to or live in Mexico and then cross to the US without any documents.

I think immigrants should become citizens. As we have studied so far, America is a diversity country. And as we can see now, many immigrants have their green cards in the US. By the way, immigration is either good or bad for the economy. There will be more unemployment rate. But if we look in the different ways, some immigrants bring reputation for the country for example, Tiger Wood and etc.

As for my perspective, "Guest Workers" should be allowed. According to my study in International management class, imagine the big company such as Microsoft, IBM. Many of their employees are from overseas such as India and China. If guest workers would not allow to work in the US, these big corporations would not be in a good shape.

All in all, immigration is basically unmanageable in many countries including US in my opinion. Should it be allowed or not is based on people's perspectives. But for the US, I think the government is strict enough but not based on quotas on country origin. By the way, Immigration is either good or bad.

  1. Indeed, everything has its good and bad sides. Immigrants who are hardly survived in USA will commit crime and give rise to social ill. On the other hand, Immigrants might contribute to the country's GNP and GDP if the are doing business in USA.
