What factors impact popular perceptions of immigrants and policies regarding the admission of immigrants?
What will be an ideal response?
Responses should address the link between the economy and immigration. When the economy is good, perceptions tend to be more positive and vice versa. In the eyes of many, including nativists, not only do immigrants act as competition for employment, they are also consumers of social services and community resources. Regarding official policies, nations tend to favor admission for those who are willing and/or able to do things that native citizens can’t or won’t. America’s post–World War II rocket program and railroad building frenzy are two examples that should be included.
