I’ve always heard that you should never just a book by its cover, that you should give it a chance and read what it has inside because it could be the next bestseller. Well I guess that is easy to do for a book but what about a person? I know from my own experience that I judge a person before I get to know them. I look at what they are wearing, how they talk, who they hang around, and I put it all together and put them into a group that fits other people that I’ve seen before. If the group I put that person in isn’t the best group and I don’t find them all that appealing those same feelings will go to that person, which means I will most likely not give them a chance to get to know me.

Questioning eight stereotypes”. According to the paper, “Contrary to this expectation, statistical analysis shows that unemployment and immigration vary more often in opposite directions than in parallel. On one hand immigrants are attracted by employment rather than unemployment, and on the other hand, successful labor markets create employment for both migrants and natives, who, in many cases, are not in direct competition.” This explains that the real reasons why migrants immigrate is not to take the job that are already taken, but they come for the jobs that no one in the land they move to really want. The paper also says that when the jobs are available, they spread the jobs between the native and migrates so there really isn’t competition between the two groups. So where does this stereotype come from? Fargues states “negative attitude is lower in countries where the economic crisis is relatively mild” which explain that if a country has a high unemployment rate then the natives will blame the migrates for taking all the jobs when in fact there may be no jobs are available for both …show more content…
According to Marc Rosenblum in an interview done my PBS.org about crime rates and immigration cities, “when you look at crime rates and correlate them with immigration populations, immigrants are — cities with lots of immigrants don’t have lots of crime.” He saying that cities full of migrant “criminals” actually don’t have as much crime as we think they have, but with the media magnifying the crimes of migrants it put the titles criminal on every single migrant out there. When compared to native-born, migrants are actually the more behaved group. According to the American Immigration Council, “In 2010, less-educated native-born men age 18-39 had an incarceration rate of 10.7 percent—more than triple the 2.8 percent rate among foreign-born Mexican men, and five times greater than the 1.7 percent rate among foreign born Salvadoran and Guatemalan men.” So with the percent of the native-born men being incarcerated in triple the foreign-born Mexican men, five times greater then foreign-born Salvadoran and Guatemalan men, than who are the criminals, the native-born or the migrants. The stereotype that “All migrants are uneducated” I believe is a little bit far fetched. According to Migration Policy Institute, “In 2011, immigrants accounted for 16 percent of the 58.8 million college-educated
