Immigration Solution - Focus On Economy
The forces that draw an estimated 500,000 people here illegally yearly are the laws of supply and demand. Although these workers come here because they desperately need work, our economy badly needs them, too. The key to understanding why, as immigration expert Tamar Jacoby wrote recently in Foreign Affairs, is one statistic: In 1960, half of American men dropped out of high school to look for work. Less than 10 percent do so today.
According to an analysis by the Migration Policy Institute, 11 of the 15 occupations projected to undergo the largest job growth in absolute numbers by 2014 won't require a bachelor's degree. These include retail sales people, home health aides, truck drivers, janitors, waiters and cooks. Without illegal immigrants, the meatpacking, agriculture, construction and hospitality industries in our country would already be hurting for workers.
