US Mitigation Opportunities and Challenges.

Evaluation

US mitigation means many of the undesired low-skilled jobs such as services(31%), construction/resources/manufacturing(25%) and products/transport(22%) are taken by them which boosts economic growth and GDP. However, the tertiary and quaternary sectors of the US economy also benefit from this with those with "extraordinary ability" in maths, sciences, arts and business with main employment of immigrants being science and business (51% China and 73% India). The majority of the immigrants being of the young working age will not only secure these occupations but will also help deal with an ageing population and declining crude birth rate.Having said this, there are challenges that come with mitigation; uneven concentration and locations of immigrant raises issues of resources and supplies e.g. providing an adequate water supply in California due to a dense immigrant section in the population. Uneven progress on immigrant integration in the US is also uncertain due to varying sizes and diversity of the various groups as well as the following factors; language barriers, social interaction, socio-economic attainment, political participation and residential locations. Dealing with legal immigrants isn't easier with the unauthorised 11.5m (6m being Mexican) who hail from neighbouring countries and use Mexico as a transit country to get into North America; luckily the USA Department of Homeland Security has tightened its regulations such as the Southern Maritime, West Coast Borders and Southern land.
