Boston Immigrants: Doing Business Case Study
During the time that I have lived in Boston I have seen numerous Immigrants coming from different countries looking for a new opportunities in the U.S, while leaving behind everything they have, or own in their country. Since I was a kid I always wanted to have my own company and be a “Young Entrepreneur,” but for me it was complicated because how can a teenager do business? No one was there to teach me how to do it. One of the reasons America is known is because of the opportunities they have and the support offered to people that come here for a better life and work hard for their dreams; however, this country does not support small businesses as much as they support the biggest ones. Immigrant business owners and business starters do not have the same support in the business world as others have. This problem is caused because of the business demand. Based on what the owner of Merengue and various Latinos restaurant, Nivia Pina said, “the city of Boston do not give that much support to business started or minority… Years ago the city of Boston redevelopment authority offer more options to business in the community and give financial backup to small business them now days,” The government have preferences for biggest business that can provide gains to the city or the entire country. Also, another one big issue is how …show more content…
Small businesses like markets are started by people with no experiences in business, and without having studied it. With programs that teach these qualities, humbles entrepreneurs can have a better development in the business world. Or, as the experience that the business owner Nivia Pina had, which was to have a business partner with whom they divide the work and they do the work in computing, "[She did not] have any experience in business but [she knew] how to use the computer, Item."So the money that she would have to pay to someone else do it, she can does it

    Immigrants are increasing new businesses in the United States, and “according to a study by the Stanford Latino Entrepreneurship Initiative, from 2007-12 latino-owned net new-business formation skyrocketed 47% while non-Latino net new businesses declined by 2%” (Cisneros and Trujillo). With all these new businesses being formed by immigrants, the number of employees to run the new businesses are going up as well. This means new jobs for American workers and more money in the United States’ economy. Through the new jobs that the immigrants are producing and keeping employed, the unemployment rate goes down. Immigrants help the United States economy in other ways than just providing businesses, but also provide the country with, “business contacts to other markets, enhancing America's ability to trade and invest profitability in the global economy” (Williams). The immigrants and their businesses are also beneficial as they are able to help certain regions get out of economic recessions. According to Bill Gilmer, an economist for the Federal Reserve, the businesses that the immigrants build up create “diversification” in an economic downturn, and at the same time they create new “manufacturing, trade, and service businesses” (Williams). The businesses that immigrants make and bring to the economy have an overall positive…

    In addition to population growth, immigration can also create thousands of jobs. According to the United States Department of Labor, it states that immigrants are even more likely to create their own jobs and business. 7.5 % of the foreign-born are self-employed compared to 6.6 percent among the native born. Of that 7.5 %, 30 % of immigrants are more likely to start a business in the U.S. than non-immigrants and 18 % of all small business owners in the U.S. are immigrants. However, even though this is the case, some people still argue that immigration is the reason for many Americans not having jobs. In the article, “Unauthorized Immigrant Population”, author Jeffery S. Passel states,” illegal aliens come to America to take jobs that offer them great opportunity and they often welcomed by U.S. employers who are unable to hire them for wages lower than they would have to hire U.S. workers”. The author opinion clearly shows that he agrees with…
