Immigration from Mexico and the U.S. economic recovery in 2014-2015
03/08/2015
With the sharp decline in immigrants from Mexico crossing the border following the 2009 recession and increased enforcement at the border, the recovery in construction has benefitted mostly native born Hispanic Americans. Of about 500,000 jobs created in the construction industry in 2014 about 315,000 went to Hispanics. The unemployment rate dropped by 5% for Hispanics in 2014, compared to less than 2.8% for blacks and 1.4% for whites, according to the Labor Department. Hispanics also took the biggest hit as the construction industry declined in 2009, the rebound is now reversing this. Hispanic employment has returned to pre-2009 recession levels in 2015.

President Obama's executive order on immigration on Nov. 20, 2014 and the risks for Republicans and Democrats
11/19/2014
Polls show only 38% approve of tackling the whole immigration issue by executive decree. For Republicans the risk is of overreaction- shutting down the government or not supporting some aspects of changes in immigration laws. Senators Portman and Paul Rand, Republican presidential candidates favor a careful response, and Hispanic Republican leaders support such action. President Reagan declared an amnesty for illegal immigrants in 1986, with support in both parties. There are about 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. in 2014.

10/30/2014
The Federalists who opposed immigrants from France and Ireland in the eighteenth century, the anit-immigrant wing of the Whig Party, and the Nativists or Know-Nothing party during Lincoln's time, all failed to win long term political support. The French and the Irish in north eastern cities and the Germans in Lincoln's time shifted their support. Benjamin Franklin discusses the issue in his letters and said the thrifty and industrious Germans added much value to the new nation. Lincoln supported the integration of German immigrants and opposed the Know- Nothing supporters.

The expected impact of U.S. president Obama's 2014 executive order on immigration on jobs and wages
11/21/2014
Using information of the impact of President Reagan's immigration action in 1986 experts say the result could be an increase in wages of 5-16% for some workers, as undocumented workers with legal papers move to higher paying jobs. Undocumented farm workers moved to higher paying jobs in construction during that period.

What polls show on immigration action in Nov. 2014- only 39% approve legal status for illegal immigrants, 60% approve a pathway to citizenship
11/19/2014
As President Obama moves to make an executive order to tackle immigration isues, polls show a conflicted American public. By about a 8-10 percentage margin the public and voters oppose legal status for illegal immigrants. By contrast 60% favor some sort of pathway for illegal immigrants, and 74% favor this if backtaxes are paid. Experts say this may suggest the public sees legal status and especially citizenship citizenship as something that should be earned.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
