Also anti-immigration attitudes should come and go. For instance, during a booming economy when there is a shortage in the labor force, allowing immigration is a good policy. However, at this point in time the exact opposite is true. There is no shortage of workers, there is a shortage of available jobs. We have a depressed economy and unemployment is rampant. Especially among young males in the 18-25 demographic.
First of all, immigration creates demand for jobs. Our economy is service/ consumer based. That being said, more people = more jobs.
Second of all, in many industries there is a shortage of workers. There are plenty of employers that can't find enough people to fill vacant positions.
Third of all, our highest immigration influxes have often coincided with global crisis.
