Some Kinda Blog

Comments on everyday issues and other blogs

     Ok, so the prompt for this week links us to a website,      http://www.eginitiative.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=17&Itemid=50. This site deals with globalization issues and how they relate to the ethics of certain countries. The specific article I chose to take a peak at had to do with migration policies. The article focuses on the unfair regulations put on people who immigrate into another country, in particular the more wealthy countries like America. The policies focus on excluding immigrants and keeping them away, or they make the process of becoming a resident and moving into the countries a very hard process. The website states, "states are unprepared to deal with recent developments in the area of international migration and generally make decisions related to migration in a closed manner without the benefit of considered dialogue."

     Now, after sitting down and letting this article absorb into my head, I reached the conclusion that the solution is somewhere between the two extremes of letting anyone immigrate easily and making the procedure hard and unbearable to undertake. It is true that there are many people coming from countries that are trying to make better lives for themselves, or become a free person. There are many very talented and gifted singers, artists, scientists, amongst other professionals who benefit a country because of what they have to offer. Many people are brought into America on Work Visas as laborers for landscape companies or construction. I feel that bringing this abundant amount of cheap labor is damaging to an economy, and regulations need to be made more strict to favor American citizens so that cheaper workers can not be brought in to the United States. Regulations in this case are a good idea. 

     In conclusion, we should not close our doors to everyone and anyone, but we should make sure that the people who are coming into America are valuable, dependable, and beneficial people to not just our government or big companies, but to all of America as a whole.
