We live in a dynamic age of global integration, where the reconnection and mixture of

the world's people is challenging dominant norms and practices in many societies. All
over the global, it has been estimated that 258 million migrants accounted for 3.4% of
the worldwide population (UN, 2017). Immigration has been a standout amongst the
most fundamental issues in present times. With globalization and the effortlessness of
movement, outsiders in different nations are on the ascent. Migration in the advanced
sense refers to the movement of individuals starting with one country state then onto the
next, where they are not citizens. The essay will discuss the question of whether
countries should accept more immigrants or not and support to the case that openness to
newcomers is morally right, economically beneficial and culturally enriching.

To start, opening borders economically presents a tremendous opportunity to make a

country more prosperous. It gives a global viewpoint to the social and financial growth
of society, along these lines augmenting the degree for improvement. With new open
doors in profession and training, comes economic development. Supporters of
immigration believe that it has the capability of achieving worldwide flourishing
(Borjas, 2014). In fact, in Germany, for instance, remote international ID holders began
44% of new companies in 2015. In France, the Organization for Economic Co-task and
Development has assessed that immigrants take part in 29% more enterprising action
than local conceived laborers do, which is like the normal for the OECD in general. In
the United States, immigrants are 30% bound to form new businesses than U.S.- born
citizens. Moreover, the evidence demonstrates that foreign-born university graduates are
essential contributors to U.S. development—among individuals with advanced degrees,
immigrants are multiple times bound to document licenses than U.S.- native citizens. In
the United States, immigrants have been founders of companies, for example, Google,
Intel, PayPal, eBay, and Yahoo! Indeed, gifted workers represent over half of Silicon
Valley start-ups and over half of patents, although they make up under 15% of the
population. As indicated by the World Bank, expanding immigration by an edge
equivalent to 3% of the workforce in created nations would produce worldwide
monetary additions of $356 billion. A few economists foresee that if outskirts were
totally open and workers were permitted to go where they satisfied, it would deliver
gains as high as $39 trillion for the world economy for more than 25 years (Goldin,
Cameron, & & Balarajan, 2011).

On the other side, there are those who consider that the influx of thousands of refugees
means that the citizens of the developed country will lose their jobs, they believe that
migrants take occupations and demolish national economies. All through the crusade
and into the administration, President Trump has guaranteed to actualize new
immigration policies that will help enhance the U.S. economy and employment market.
An inspiring element behind Trump's proposed strategies—including the development
of another U.S.- Mexico boundary, more outskirt watch specialists, and stricter
expelling arrangements—is his conviction that migrants are taking job opportunities
from American laborers. As he said in July 2015, “They are taking our jobs. They are
taking our manufacturing jobs. They are taking our money. They are killing us.”
(Ingraham, 2018). Actually, this fact has not been proven. In another case, there is some
prof to recommend that the expanding number in foreign workforce can also boost the
demand for workers, while immigration can increase competition for existing jobs, it
can also create new jobs and, thus, increased wages and employment in the economy.
Many worry that immigrants will take advantage of the nation’s welfare system, but
research shows otherwise. Far from being an incumbrance, immigration is a favour.

Secondly, migration has contributed to the richness in diversity of cultures, ethnicities,

and races in developed countries. Culture is learned and passed through generations and
includes the beliefs and value system of a public. Culture has been described as
highlights that are shared and tie people together into a community. It is critical to
consider the idea of the society an individual has migrated from and to, and the social
attributes of the individual who has migrated, in determining how well a person will
adjust during the migration process. Things such as Chinese takeaways were brought to
the UK by the Chinese and have turned into a piece of the British culture (Tracey,
2016). The first mosque was built in the UK by Muslims in 1889 as a place for them to
worship (Sebastian, 2018) and Indian curry plats were established in the UK by Indians
and became a signature on British’s avenue almost two centuries ago (Martin, 2005).
The internationalization of culture also holds for sports. It is hard to imagine
contemporary American baseball without immigration. Baseball is a sport that used to
be played by white Americans, then was integrated with African-Americans and
American Hispanics, and now was populated by athletes from Japan, the Dominican
Republic, Cuba, Jamaica, and Venezuela. Immigration can turn a country into a
multicultural society (West, 2011).

On the contrary, while racism is not as prevalent as it was before, it was undeniable that
racists still exist. Moreover, the most noteworthy proof of that can be said is that Donald
Trump simply won the presidential election of the United States after having carried out
one of the most divisive and racist campaigns in the history of the world (Oscar, 2017).
The more alarming is that it occurred in the United States of America, a country built by
immigrants, a nation that has for a long time been a melting pot of different cultures. So,
all this means that people are bound to come across a racist or to wherever you go, it is
something you cannot get away. No place is more apparent than in the United States,
where many distinctive ethnic gatherings live in amicability under an abundant culture.
Immigrants have brought blue jeans, Google, tacos, Apple, hip-hop, and much such a
large number of different things to the US than we can list here. However, the world
turns out to be more interconnected every year as individuals share cultures, take part in
worldwide business, and create friendships with individuals from various foundations.

In the end, immigration remains its controversial topic in today's society. Different
individuals have different point of views, whether they are positive or negative. There is
not one right opinion in practice. Immigration has both its ups and downs. On one side
immigration stimulates the economy and then it also contributes to the downturn of the
public issues. The question of whether countries should open border or not still on
national debate. To my perspective, I personally believe the positive social effect of
immigration probably surpasses the negative one. Governments should take action in
what immigration policies be measured adequately in order to create a balanced
environment and healthy society for a peaceful super national place.
