The American Mind: Immigration, the American Way
As the U.S. southern border resumes operations, the debate over immigration policy intensifies. Public sentiment has shifted, with over 55% of Americans now favoring reduced immigration, partly due to perceptions of crime linked to undocumented migrants. Many Latinos also support mass deportations, reflecting concerns about rising crime and housing costs.
The U.S. must balance its need for immigrant labor with the skills and motivations of newcomers. While there is a demand for workers in sectors like healthcare and manufacturing, the influx of unvetted immigrants poses challenges. A reformed immigration policy should prioritize those committed to American values, fostering a common identity among diverse groups.
