Reflection: Globalization had made it easier to do business in other countries, but then it also creates more competitions. For example, as we known, China and India are taking their advantages of low paid labors and cheap goods. This then definitely affected business of many big countries. The United State is one of the countries suffering this kind of issue.
Then here comes a problem, the illegal immigration. Many people are worried about the stressful competitions. Some businessmen will use illegal immigrants who are willing to work with cheap wages, so that they can get more profits in their business. This is definitely going against the immigration law. On the other hand, this also shows that as the world is globalizing, our policies, which used to guide our life, now need to be changed. As the article mentioned, the American policy is not working very well. It has failed to involve governors, local law enforcement and, most important, the Mexican government, in order to solve the exodus of poor Mexican to America.
Globalization creates the structural basis of one of the largest migratory flows in the history of humanity. People consider the right of mobility, to travel and change residency, to be an irrevocable Human Right. This right permits all human beings to freely seek opportunities to better their lives and those of their families. In fact, many people choose to go to the developed countries such as US or Canada for a better life. As one of the effects of globalization, it creates the flow of technology, economy and most importantly labors and human talents. This do helps us to develop our country, but at the same time, it brought problems such as illegal immigrations and loss of talent people. Many countries including Singapore are having their policies to attract foreign talent to come and help to develop their countries. But this is not beneficial for those developing countries which want to hold the persons of talent, just as those countries facing illegal immigration issues.
So, what can be done to upgrade the policies in order to solve this kind of problems? The key word is again globalization and international cooperation. Immigration issue is not a problem that faced by one country itself. It is an issue between two or more countries. Therefore, we will need cooperation between countries to solve their social and economic problems. Two countries need to come out with certain policies which both of them accepted, thus, it can help to balance the wants of both.
Yes, globalization is the key to immigration issue. It can be considered as one cause of immigration issues. However, we would need to use the power of globalization to solve the problems. We will need the leaders to work together for the common will of all nations.
