The main of the present situation of undocumented immigration is a fundamental disconnect between today's financial and labor market realities and an obsolete system of legal immigration.

Undocumented immigration is influenced in large part with a U.S. labor market that is developing a higher need for less-skilled workers than will be achieved by the native-born labor force or by the current legal limits on immigration.

Immigration policies that disregard these larger economic forces just generate migration underground in the place of effortlessly determine it, because the past decade and a-half of failed federal border- enforcement efforts explain.

In a nutshell, there's an contradiction between U.S. economic and immigration policy, with economics winning. The thing is a broken immigration system that directs the combined messages “Keep Out” and “Help Wanted” to foreign workers.

The U.S. economy continues to create many less-skilled jobs even as native-born individuals age and better educated and are progressively unavailable to fill such jobs.

Yet the government continues to impose obsolete statistical hats and other restrictions on immigration that bear little relationship to the economic facts of our time.

As a result, enforcement resources are devoted in large part to looking to come the labor migration the U.S. economy attracts and which is a results of globalization. Despite the critical position immigrants perform in filling less-skilled jobs, few opportunities are offered by America under the present immigration system for them to come back to the U.S. legally.

There's a similar bottleneck for low-skilled workers who seek temporary, employment-based visas. Of the 16 different types of temporary immigrant visas available for employment and training in america, only two -; H2A and H2B -; are available to workers with little or no formal training. More over, the total quantity of H2B visas that may be awarded in a year is assigned at 66,000.

Just a truly comprehensive approach will continue to work, the one that features a process where undocumented immigrants already living and working in the United States may use for legal status, in addition to the development of the temporary worker system with stringent protections for both temporary workers them-selves and native-born workers.

Lawmakers should handle the problem of undocumented immigration with less rhetoric and more realism. Continuing the status quo by trying to impose immigration policies that are at war with the U.S. and global economies can do nothing to deal with the fundamental problem. Or can it be feasible to wall off the Usa from the rest of-the world.

One of the most useful solution is to provide U.S. immigration policy in line with the facts of the U.S. Job market and an increasingly transnational economy. sinema immigration
