An article from a college about statistics and effects immigration has on our economy. Negative or positive you make up your mind on how immigration effects us.

Definitely a topic I always find myself neutral. I try to have positive outlooks with the U.S. being the number 1 with the immigration. I get that most immigrants come here for the American dream (freedom) but then I think shouldn't they come here the right way by becoming a citizen first? Since we would have to as well if we were to go live in their countries. Then I see stuff on the news in the U.S. about shootings, bombs, etc caused by an immigrant. That would be my negative outlook.

This article was very interesting. I have often wondered what the effects of immigration are, and if they affect the economy positively or negatively.

As we get ready for another Trump-tastic #GOPdebate, it's worth taking another look at The Donald's plan for the U.S. economy. Trump argues that he is the best at solving money problems despite his 4 bankruptcies.

According to a recent study by the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals found that if Congress passes the comprehensive immigration reform bill, the U.S. economy and housing market could receive a major boost. Also, the group estimates that the reform bill will allow about 3 million buyers out of the 11 million illegal immigrants living in the country. According to the national median sales price, the 3 million buyers could afford to purchase a home worth $173,600.

This web site shows the negative impact on building a border wall with Mexico. It shows the numbers of US workers and Mexican workers affected by this decision. It shows how much capitol could be lost each day once the wall is built.

Great find! I think that there is no real thought being put into the whole wall situation. Both the U.S. and Mexico have benefited from the ability to import and export goods providing jobs for both sides. The relationship that our current president is establishing will definitely impact our economy in a negative way.

Excellent article! I agree with dennibro about the thought process behind it. First they were going to pay for it, now we are. Then the whole subject of who was going to be paying for this wall started to be backtracked. I think not only is it going to cost an astronomical amount of money to build, it will also cost us a lot to maintain it. I think a better idea is needed.

This article discusses how corrupt the healthcare in America is compared to other countries. It shares why they make the healthcare expensive & who it ultimately benefiting from it, being the pharmaceutical industry & the rich. Also shares how even though your work may pay for you healthcare, you're still the one getting gyped.

America's healthcare is the most expensive amongst industrialized nations. But higher costs aren't leading to a healthier population or longer life expectancy. The high cost of healthcare negatively affects the American economy in many ways.

I found this article to be very fascinating indeed. I hope that one day we will have a health care system that is excess-able to all Americans. Hopefully a solution will be properly found during our life time.

This article highlights the effect legalizing marijuana has had on Colorado's economy. It also visits the federal versus state legalization issue. And lastly, touches on which states already have legalized marijuana, and which states will be voting on it in the near future.

The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.
