Immigrants are valuable in the society because they help the economy grow with their strength, wits, and entrepreneurial energy.

Immigrants especially Mexicans migrate to the United States to perform unskilled jobs and get paid below the minimum wage. This jobs that being worked by the immigrants help restructure the United States Economy. Instead of appreciating immigrant’s labor in the labor and marker force, they are called racial slurs, treated unequally, and often call their offsprings “anchor babies” or “illegals.” In this book, the author reveals stories about how immigrants are treated with no value in the United States.

The United States economy has flourished over the years. Because of this motivated researchers to explore the relationship between economy and migration. To address this issue, in this paper patterns of interstate migration are analyzed using IRS data and several migration efficiency measures for 18 2-year time periods, 1988–2006. Included in the analysis is an examination of the relationship between system migration and economic change, structural changes in the migration system over time (national and state level), and changes in the geography of state-level migration efficiency rates. As might be expected, the two full business cycles that occurred over this time period saw significant short-term changes in migration flows, although the economic downturn of 2001-02 may indicate more fundamental changes in the migration system. This article explains that the growth of immigration diminished the economy at some point, but generally immigration has helped the United States economy. The information in this article will be really helpful when writing my research
