Geographers Redefine Immigration Trends in Cities - Columbian ...
For generations, it was believed that most immigrants were people with limited education or training who came to the United States for economic opportunity. They landed in large metropolitan areas�New York, Los Angeles, Miami�and lived in inner cities until they could afford to move to the suburbs. Now research by two professors in the Department of Geography at Columbian College finds that those patterns are shifting. And there’s no better example of new immigration trends than in metropolitan Washington, D.C. One of every five D.C.-area residents is an immigrant and nearly every country of the world is represented in the ...

's employment problems are many: an education system not well aligned with the needs of modern industry; citizens conditioned to expect that governments will always take care of them; and often-ineffective policies in areas such as immigration and retirement. Compounding the problem is pressure on the region to generate hundreds of thousands of jobs annually: according to recent World Bank projections, the GCC 's labour force will exceed 20.5 million by 2020—an increase of almost 30% from the current estimated labour force of 15.6 million.

The subject of "ethnic enterprise" -- businesses operated and maintained primarily by members of immigrant and/or minority groups -- has become a significant area of research since the 1960s, when it became apparent to researchers and policy makers that the level of self-employment among ethnic minorities was higher than average (Borjas 1986). More recently, this interest has been aligned with a growing body of literature documenting the importance of self-employment and small businesses generally, (1) some of which focuses specifically on the role of ethnic entrepreneurs in industrially advanced economies (Waldinger ...

Just as much as conservative, right wing Americans, lefty pundits cluster like moths around false but glistering untruths about President Obama. One such untruth that has had some currency among liberals this summer is that "Obama is out of touch with the middle class." This misperception is particularly confounding because Barack Obama, at least as far back as his fierce fight with Hillary Clinton over Ohio primary voters in the late winter/early spring of 2008, has been speaking about what we now call "Main Street" issues to and with citizens of all stripes: homemakers, farmers, fishermen, workers with ...

When the morning of April 9, 2006, dawned, with its clear blue skies and warm sunshine, it unveiled the reality of a dramatic demographic shift that had been building in Dallas and North Texas for a decade. An estimated 300,000 to 500,000 protesters packed downtown Dallas streets as they marched April 9, 2006, in support of immigration rights. Thousands upon thousands of people, most of them Hispanic, came downtown by bus, DART train, automobile and foot to protest what they believed to be unjust immigration laws. The numbers astounded even the organizers. Slowly at first, ...

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
My answer will respond to your request for both pro and con (beware this is a hotly debated political issue and it is often difficult to find answers from economists as interest groups fight for attention)... PRO: 1. Increased efficiency as unskilled labor that does not require knowledge or familiarity with any part of the country or its language become more affordable for the average American (rock lifting, tomato picking, hedge cutting, baby-sitting, nannies, brick-laying, all become more affordable for people who want to maintain their property). People with additional skills get pushed out of unskilled labor and have to ...
Hello Daly1-ga,
Thank you for your question.
According to Don DeVoretz, chairman of Simon Fraser University's
Centre for Research on Immigration, about 30% of immigrants leave
Canada in the first five years after arriving. Given that there are
approximately 250,000 immigrants to Canada each year, there would be
roughly 75,000 immigrants leaving Canada each year.
