U.S. Immigration Policy Ignores Economic Reality

The root of the present crisis of undocumented immigration is just a  fundamental disconnect between today's financial and labor market realities and an outdated system of legal  immigration. 

Undocumented immigration is influenced in large part with a U.S. labor market that's making  a higher need for less-skilled workers than has been met by the native-born labor force  o-r by the existing legal restrictions on immigration. 

Immigration policies that ignore these larger economic forces simply push migration underground instead of properly  manage it, as the past decade and a-half of failed federal border- enforcement efforts explain. 

Simply speaking, there's an contradiction between U.S. economic and  immigration policy, with economics earning. The issue is a broken immigration  program that sends the dual messages "Keep "Help and Out" Wanted" to foreign workers. 

The U.S. economy continues  to generate large numbers of less-skilled jobs whilst native-born workers  get older and better educated and are progressively unavailable to fill such jobs. 

Yet the federal government continues to demand obsolete mathematical limits and  other restrictions on immigration  that bear little relationship to the economic facts of our time. 

Consequently, enforcement resources are devoted  in large part to trying to stem the labor migration the U.S. economy draws and that will be a results of globalization. Despite the critical position immigrants play in filling  less-skilled jobs, America offers few possibilities under the  present immigration system for them to return to the U.S. Officially. 

There's a similar bottleneck  for low-skilled workers who find temporary, employment-based visas. Of the 16 different types of temporary immigrant visas available for  work and training in the Usa, only two -; H2A and H2B -; are available to workers with little or  no formal training. More over, the total quantity of H2B visas that can be awarded in a year is assigned at 66,000. 

Just a undoubtedly comprehensive approach will continue to work,  one that features a process by which undocumented immigrants already living and working in the United  States can use for legal status, in addition to the creation of the temporary worker  system with stringent protections for both temporary workers them-selves and native-born workers. 

Lawmakers should handle the problem of undocumented immigration with more realism and less rhetoric. Continuing the  status quo by attempting to impose immigration policies which are at war with all the  U.S. and global economies will do nothing to address the fundamental problem.  Or can it be possible to wall off the Usa from the rest of-the world. 

The most useful alternative is to bring U.S. immigration policy in  keeping with the facts of the U.S. labor market and an increasingly transnational economy.
