In response to the essay question about protectionist policies, share your thoughts and some information from the internet (provide the link) on your thoughts on this subject. Ask yourself, does immigration help or hurt economic growth? Does closing our borders to trade help or hurt our economy? Let me know your thoughts.

I think that this is some interesting information. Also, I think closing our borders would HURT the economy more than HELP it, since the majority of products in the U.S. are made in China.

I disagree with all of them. Without immigrants, and imported goods, America would be very close to nothing. We use imported goods everyday. The clothes you wear, do they say made in the U.S?

Closing our borders is a bad idea. We need the things that we import from other countries. We cannot grow certain things here in America. Also, some immigrants have skills that people in the U.S. lack.

11/8/2012 07:14:39

although we haven't been the nicest to the immigrants we also do need to understand that a lot of countries know have societies like ours that they can go to and we can't have them all here or our country we'll become even more bankrupt then before and a lot of them are fleeing because they've done crimes and want to flee there police force so then they will start committing crimes here that will take our country into even worse situations but we can't close our borders to try but limit not completely abolish immigration but make it so that these people will be completely self-sustaining and very intelligent and understand the laws here in America

actually, if immigrant were forced to leave now, they would probaby refuse and revolt. :/ This would probably cripple th U.S. more than solve any of its problems.

i believe that immigration should be allowed, however, the increase of immigrants recieving more jobs than U.S. citizens is a little much http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/04/11/immigrants-faster-jobs-growth_n_1415505.html
