Does immigration enforcement reduce crime? Is Britain closing its doors to talent? Farm workers’challenge: You can have our jobs - Business - US business. SAN FRANCISCO — In a tongue-in-cheek call for immigration reform, farm workers are teaming up with comedian Stephen Colbert to challenge unemployed Americans: Come on, take our jobs.
Farm workers are tired of being blamed by politicians and anti-immigrant activists for taking work that should go to Americans and dragging down the economy, said Arturo Rodriguez, the president of the United Farm Workers of America. So the group is encouraging the unemployed — and any Washington pundits or anti-immigrant activists who want to join them — to apply for the some of thousands of agricultural jobs being posted with state agencies as harvest season begins. All applicants need to do is fill out an online form under the banner "I want to be a farm worker" at www.takeourjobs.org, and experienced field hands will train them and connect them to farms. A global view of cross-border migration. One defining feature of the world economy in recent decades is increasing migration.
These cross-border flows have led to concerns in immigrant-receiving countries about the effects of migration on labour markets and welfare states. In turn, the countries of origin worry about the potential negative consequences of this human ‘brain drain’. Thus there is growing interest in understanding and quantifying the costs and benefits of migration.
How Western Europe can make the most of immigration. Gianmarco I.P.
Ottaviano, Giovanni Peri, 17 April 2008 Immigration of less educated, younger Eastern Europeans and North Africans to Western Europe would economically benefit its educated and older population. This column, summarising research on immigration effects in Germany, suggests that, to fully reap the benefits from immigration, Western Europe should make its labour markets more competitive and accessible to outsiders (immigrants) and its welfare state more selective. Western European workers are ageing, Western European women are increasingly participating into the labour force, and young Western European generations have significantly increased their level of schooling. Goldin, I. and Cameron, G., Balarajan, M.: Exceptional People: How Migration Shaped Our World and Will Define Our Future. Throughout history, migrants have fueled the engine of human progress.
Their movement has sparked innovation, spread ideas, relieved poverty, and laid the foundations for a global economy. In a world more interconnected than ever before, the number of people with the means and motivation to migrate will only increase. Moi, Française vivant dans un pays musulman. L’actualité de ces derniers jours me pousse à apporter un témoignage sur ce que peut être la vie d’une femme occidentale dans un pays musulman afin d’éclairer mes concitoyens restés en métropole.
C’est bizarre parce qu’avant de vivre au Maroc (cela fait un peu plus d’un an et demi que je réside à Casablanca), l’Occident était un concept qui ne me parlait pas réellement. Je me serais volontiers présentée comme une Marseillaise, une Française, une Européenne mais pas du tout comme une occidentale. Le fait est que lorsqu’on vous perçoit comme une identité figée vous avez tendance à vous renfermer sur cette identité supposée.
Le monde arabo-musulman, je connais. Enfin en théorie car j’ai un master enrelations internationales, en sociologie comparée des religions et je suismariée avec un Marocain. No Progress: Country Findings. Www.hamiltonproject.org/files/downloads_and_links/09_immigration.pdf. The Economics of Immigration Reform. With bipartisan momentum mounting for comprehensive immigration reform, cautious optimism has emerged that 2013 will be the year for action.
Most Americans agree that our immigration system is flawed, but there remains a lack of understanding about the real effects that new immigrants have on wages, jobs, budgets, and the U.S. economy in general. Two recent Hamilton Project papers provide important economic context for the issue and a potential path forward. The Project’s “Ten Economic Facts About Immigration” memo explores some of the questions frequently raised around immigration in the United States and provides facts to address many immigration myths.

How to Marry a Bulgarian: American hospitality to non-Americans. The mega payoff of increased immigration is lost on the pols. I have a plan that will raise wages, lower prices, increase the nation's stock of scientists and engineers, and maybe even create the next Google. Better yet, this plan won't cost the government a dime. In fact, it'll save money.
A lot of money. But few politicians are going to want to touch it.
