Immigration is an example of a topic that is a controversial issue in our political environment. How does it impact staffing? Make sure to differentiate between legal immigration and illegal immigration to the United States.

Solution

To put simply immigrants are those who come from another country and decide to settle in our country. In case of the United States the number of immigrants is quite large. People tend to stereotype immigrants which is not correct as there are several who enter the country legally and undergo the lengthy process to obtain citizenship. They go through proper channels to obtain visa and meet whatever necessary requirements that there are to finally apply for a green card.

On the other hand, illegal immigrants are those who bypass the official process and stay in the country without proper documentation.

Immigration does impact staffing. For example, a legal immigrant has to be paid the official rate as wages as he has the right to take a judicial course if he does not get the official wage rate. On the other hand, illegal immigrants are ready to work at a lower rate than the official rate as they know that due to the fact that they are illegal immigrants they might not get a job. Also, companies take advantage of this fact as they know that illegal immigrants do not have judicial recourse.
