  In “The New Industrial Migrants part 1” writer explains that in the 1980’s a lot of people came to America from central America and Southeast Asia . They were offered little money by slaughterhouses’ owners and lived in old trailers. Today those immigrants earn $9.25 for an hour and offered insurance after six months on the job, and vacation pay, after a year, and most of the workers do not speak English.

  In"the New Industrial Migrants part 2 " writer says that those specific companies realized that immigrants can work lower wages than American citizens. Therefore, they hired those  people and let them lived in shelters. However, writer says that some Mexican radio stations offering jobs for people who live in Mexico to work in America. In addition most of the workers are illegal workers who work in America. However, recent immigrants became new hunt for drug traffickers therefore, they might cause more crime in America. On the other hand, writer says that before those immigrants come to America, they were promised that they are going to live in apartment, but when they got here they were forced to live in homeless shelters. Therefore homeless people were angry with GFI and this news took place on TV.






   As a person who lives in New york I strongly believe that America is the only country in the world,  where has the largest population of migrant workers live. Most of the them come to America to make money or have better life, but unfortunately a lot of them live or work in bad condition places. On the other hand, I feel that this system do not effect American people on positive way. Because recently it has been really tough to find a job for Americans in America.

   
    New York is a place , where we can find a lot of people who came here to work from other countries. Mostly those immigrants are from south America or Asian countries such as China or Mexico. I strongly believe that they think that they can make more money than they do make in their countries. Thus, they usually take big risks to make more money, such as  leaving their families in their own countries. For example, if we pay attention we can realize that most of the restaurant employers are immigrant and work as delivery boys or waiters .

     As we all know those immigrants work and live in bad conditions. Many of them live in slum in bad condition apartments and most of them share their room with 5 or 6 people. However, they usually work in some places, which do not supply health insurance and pay very little money for an hour for their immigrant workers such as restaurant kitchen business . Writer gives a good example in his article by saying that they live in old motels, sleeping on mattresses that cover the floor.

    On the other hand, I strongly believe that unemployment is getting big problem for American citizens. Because, many American companies such as meatpacking company from the article realize that immigrants could work for lower wages with out health insurance and vacation. Therefore they prefer to recruit immigrants rather than American citizens. Maybe it doesn't seem a big problem right now but in a few year if the government doesn't take precaution for this point I believe that it might be a big problem for American citizens.


    As a result, we have a lot of immigrants from other countries and they live and wok in bad condition situation. As I mentioned above unemployment is not a big problem right know for American citizens but people are aware that their jobs are being stolen by immigrants who work for lower wages .
