Answer to Question 1

Answer: Critics of immigration question whether the United States should continue to even allow immigration. Some argue that immigrants take jobs away from Americans and others are simply biased against foreigners. Some people argue that immigrants, whether legal or illegal, cost Americans money for public services such as health care and education. These arguments have become heated as the immigrant share of the population rises, as many Americans have become concerned with securing U.S. borders since September 11, 2001, and as the number of immigrants in the country increases.
Others counter that immigrants contribute to U.S. economic growth. The National Academy of Sciences concluded in 1997 that immigration does produce substantial economic benefits for the United States as a whole. Immigrants and their children will make up the labor force to support the growing number of pensioners currently residing in the United States and those who will be retiring within the next 10 years.
