Meme Makes To Foreign Workers

It is common knowledge that the internet is full of useful information, nevertheless many posts are not accurate. Everyone can publish whatever nonsense they think about and make it seem like true facts. For instance, memes communicate all types of messages that half of the time are not true, but nonetheless have become very popular among the different social networks. One meme that caught my attention was the one attached to this document, which says: “with 18 million Americans unable to find a full-time job, congress should stop awarding 1 million lifetime work permits to foreign workers every year”. Although there is true to this image, not all is precise. Often, there is much more behind these images, but as web surfers we quickly access …show more content…

There are approximately one million work permits awarded to foreign workers per year. Nevertheless, the meme portraits it as something utterly unacceptable, when in reality some of these permits actually benefit the country. There are several reasons why an immigrant can get a work permit, also known as Green Card. The reasons being: through a job offer, self-petition, special categories of jobs and investment. This last one, is given to investors or entrepreneurs who are making investments in an enterprise that creates U.S. jobs. According to a The New York Times there were around 5.3 million Americans working for a foreign company in 2009, which is a significant cipher for the U.S. labor force. Toyota, Honda, Mercedes-Benz, Nestlé, Nesquik and even Anheuser-Busch, are only some of the many foreign enterprises that are generating …show more content…

This, refers to job openings that cannot be filled because the people are not qualified. According to the labor department there are more than 4.5 million job openings in the U.S. that have not been filled because the applicants does not have the necessary skills for the job. In fact, the groups with first and third highest unemployment rates are teenagers (from 16 to 19) and 25 year old people and over, with less that a high school diploma. These are the most unskilled groups, which is probably why they present more trouble finding jobs. To tie everything up, there are plenty of unfilled jobs that the 10 million Americans could occupied if they were skilled; therefore, the problem is not only that immigrants are taking away jobs from Americans, but also that a large percentage of the people looking for full-time jobs are not qualified to fill them. I made two new memes to correct the one I previously chose. Each of these refer to one of the arguments I made to prove the first meme was wrong. I consider the new memes are accurate because they are made with real numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statics. Likewise, I included the positive aspects of the Green card, contrary to what was implied in the first meme. Finally, I looked for more perspectives to the problem of unemployment and how it could be

In one of the short pieces from the book “This Land is Their Land” by Barbara Ehrenreich, Ehrenreich brings up the topic of illegal immigration. Anyone in a country illegally should not be allowed to work or live in that country freely. Illegal immigrants are not the only problem that has created a job crisis in America, but they are a large part of the issue. Radical ideas such as building a wall have arisen due to the massive amount of illegal immigrants. America is considered the land of opportunity, but it is an opportunity that is not given to everyone.

I think this quote meant that the unemployment of these workers would lead to other terrible things. For instance, if the unemployment rate increases, then less people will be able to support their families which would result in less people reproducing. I think that if this is what the writers of the petition are saying then they did make a valid

“Expelling Immigrant Workers May Also Send Away the Work They Do” In the article “ Expelling Immigrant Workers May Also Send away the Work They Do” by Eduardo Porter, is mostly about how immigrants that migrated to America usually work as an agriculture, but if they get send back all their work will be gone since their work is really outstanding and it’s quality work. If all immigrants were send back, their work would disappear and the work of Americans wouldn’t be as good as an immigrant. A series of studies over the years found how, “ Expelling immigrants does not open opportunities for workers born in the United States, either. Rather, the shock leaves them worse off than when the immigrants were here” (Porter “Expelling Immigrant Workers”).

Throughout the history of the United States, immigration has and continues to be an issue that is present today. Undocumented immigrants face many hardships living in our country with limited access to attain a lifestyle as any other American. These limitations affect undocumented immigrants in their daily lives and they face downward social mobility. In the workplace along with anywhere else, immigrants face fear of deportation and exploitation due to their ‘illegal’ immigration status, therefore they remain living in the shadows and in extreme distress. If opportunities such as a work permit was granted to immigrants, their chances of succeeding in the labor market would be rewarding.

In some people’s minds, they automatically assume yes, but in reality, it’s a no, immigrants tend to perform labor, and do minimal jobs that Americans don’t, and won't do, so they mistake that as immigrants taking ‘Americans job’, but it’s actually a missed opportunity. One reason for people not taking the jobs is because of the hours, the next reason is the pay might not satisfy a legal immigrant, and people born in America, another reason is it wouldn’t be able to support a regular American family, but they will be able to support an illegal immigrant. The downside is that the policymakers disagreement is the weak labor since the spread immigrants flow has made a dramatic change seeing that the H-B has issued down by twenty- five percent in 2010. The last reasoning is American people want to have a debate on if immigration is stealing American jobs, but according to evidence immigrants actually increases job opportunity and incomes of Americans. This is wise because even George G. Borjas’s long-run estimates suggest that immigrants raise the wages of people with high school diplomas.”-

As a result, people have created a vicious cycle in which they search, read, believe, and share what they have read, without considering the reliability of the information and news. Technology has influenced communication and journalism; as a result, the media has adopted a business model based on clicks and advertising. The combination of people 's need for information and the greed of news corporations have allowed for the proliferation of “fake news,” a term that has gained importance in the last two years. Fake news is “completely made up, manipulated to resemble credible journalism and attract maximum attention and, with it, advertising revenue” (Hunt, 2016). News has the power to alter people’s perceptions which can impact their decisions related to economy, democratic process, and their lives and jobs.

With recent advancements in technology, it is now far easier to fabricate fake news and make it look convincing. Image and audio editors can make photos and videos seem genuine. Websites can also be easily made to look like that of a genuine, reputable news website. As a result, most readers are unable to identify the nature of the website, causing them to believe blatant falsehoods, thereby negatively affecting their perception of certain people or organisations.

Immigrants come here and fight for jobs working hard and long days. Usually getting paid not so fair wages. People discriminate and undermine them because of their race, and where they come from. We intentionally rob them from health care benefits leading them and their family to be unhealthy with more medical conditions. “Although America strives to portray itself as a country of opportunity that can transform citizen’s lives, it is actually no different in terms of social mobility than anywhere else.”
