As more and more crisis hits foreign nations, an abundance of immigrants have set their eyes upon our prosperous nation, the United States of America. However, as these large numbers migrate from our neighboring and faraway lands, the people of our nation have begun to have hostility towards the less fortunate and to argue for the closing and restricting of our borders to lessen the immigration flow.

However, immigrants do not come because of the isolation of their own nation but because of the material prosperity of the United States. Guest demonstrates how “America’s greatest strength is that people want to live there.” (Borderless Economics Guest pg. 157) The United States standard of living is simply incomparable to that of other nations because even those who are poor and are “trailer park white trash” have more material possessions than professionals in African countries.

Among this reason lie numerous others, such as the fact that refugees and those in need of help should be aided by the U.S. and more prosperous nations, also immigrants help push the nation into a higher education, and finally because these people migrating from their nations have positive influences on our economy.

There is one side of complete isolation which is North Korea, but there really is no other side of overly being open because nations who offer immigration have positive effects that outweigh the negative ones.
