Topic: Immigration and impact on the economy
In my research paper I will be talking about immigrants. More importantly about their impact on the economy. In the American society typically when you hear the word immigrant you think of the individual in a negative perspective. Due to the history, public view and social media has made. Talking about the history and the experiences in the past there will be positive and negative actions, perspectives of immigrants. In addition to learning about their past the main focus will be on the impact to the American economy in both positive and negative way.
Research Question: How do undocumented immigrants persevere the image of legal immigrants in the United States of America?
Hypothesis:
-Social media, and media by itself has shown the general idea of an immigrant as the antagonist of the society. Little there is shown about their positive impacts including, being building blocks to economic prosperity in addition to little or close to none representation in the government. Due to such a negative imagine image in the eyes of the public, discrimination and oppression plays a major role in shaping their lives and their impact.
-High skilled immigrant contribute economic growth and higher production

-The available evidence suggests that immigration leads to more innovation, a better educated workforce, greater occupational specialization, better matching of skills with job & higher overall economic productivity.
-Immigration also has a net positive effect on combined federal, state, and local budgets, but not all taxpayers benefit equally.

Watch the animation video, “Climate Change, Greenhouse Gases, Emission Trading Scheme?”
There has been discussion about the pros and cons of climate treaties like the Kyoto Protocol and the Copenhagen Accord. There has been discussion about the advantages of firms and specific business opportunities that might be generated by going green. Let us also consider the other side and play devil’s advocate on what may be any negatives? In addition, do you think regulation can ensure safe operations, or does business need to engage in activities like renewable energy production in order to learn to how to do it right, and safely?
How can we curb emissions without, at least less, hurting our economy? How can we get other countries to curb their emissions as much as we do? What about developing countries that have horrid air quality, but can’t afford to do much about it?
