Question

Suppose that the friends you met on an international trip are thinking of moving to the United States. The number of immigrants living in the United States rose 16 percent in recent years, according to data from the Census Bureau. At the same time, the percentage of the U.S. population over 65 is increasing much faster than the percentage of the population under age 20. How will the increased immigration and the aging of America affect your standard of living?

Answer 1

The increased immigration and the aging of America will raise the my standard of living.

Step-by-step explanation:

Economic evidence implies that immigration increases the economic opportunities and incomes of Americans and also helps reduce the budget deficit.

Also, research implies that immigration raises wages and lowers prices for consumers throughout the economy. For American business owners, immigrants are both new sources of customers and employees, helping to expand production using American resources and know-how in sectors ranging from farming to technology. For American workers the data suggest that rather than competing for identical jobs, immigrants tend to work alongside and in support of American workers, creating more and better job opportunities.
