Undocumented Workers
Undocumented workers are present in every country, especially in America; the government is trying to cut the number of its undocumented or illegal workers. But are undocumented workers ruining economy or supporting it, are they stealing jobs from local people or just taking unattractive jobs? Issue of undocumented or illegal workers is very complex, but I will try to find out the truth in my research. Once I had been in a small resort city and asked an owner of a small ice-cream place why most of the workers were foreigners. She told me that usually foreigners are more reliable and responsible and are more afraid of losing their jobs then American workers. That was the reason why every summer she tried to hire foreigners as first opinion and only than American workers. Is this an example of discrimination? I would not say so. Employer is interested to hire employees that would be able to perform their job in the best way. It just happened so that in a low paid hard jobs immigrants perform much better then American workers. Not only because this “low salary” is much higher than in their home country, but also because American workers are not willing to work hard for low salary. As a result, I would like to say the undocumented workers are supporting current American economy.
Currently there are 11 million undocumented workers in the U.S. Mexicans constitute the huge part of the undocumented population as 57%, 23% are from other Latin countries, almost 10% are from Asia, 5% are from Europe and Canada and 5% are from different countries of the world. Almost 66% of the undocumented workers live in only 6 states: 26% in California, 12% in Texas, 10% in Florida, 8% in New York, 4% in Illinois and 4% in New Jersey. The Rocky Mountains, the Midwest, and the Southeast are the high growth regions: undocumented population in these regions growth very rapidly.
There is a stereotype that mostly undocumented workers are men, this is not true as women represent 41% of all
