Is immigration all that bad? Most Americans have the perception that immigration is not good for our economy. This thought about immigration has been drilled in to our heads from countless documentaries and politicians. I have recently read a few articles that have changed my viewpoint. The writers of these articles believe that immigration is not all bad. In fact they believe that immigrants improve our crumbling economy. These articles have successfully swayed my thoughts about Immigration. I always had the idea that most Americans had. Then again, why did I have this perception?  We are a nation of Immigrants. We have always problems with immigrants, whether it was the Irish, Italian, or Mexican immigrants. Many people in America believe that immigrants steal their jobs, but this article says otherwise. Contrary to popular myth, immigrants do not push Americans out of jobs” says Daniel Griswald. Immigrants do low paying jobs that most Americans frankly wouldn’t want to do. They’re not stealing the jobs that Americans desire, they’re doing the dirty work that no one wants to do. People should change their ideas that immigration is a bad thing. It does a lot of good too.
