Research Proposal

              Immigration Benefits the development of American Economy

                     Pluralistic American economy is created by foreign immigration and benefitted by immigration. In the early American society, foreign immigrants helped to offer huge amount of populations as labor force to increase the productivity of economy, immigrants did almost the hard work and filled the jobs that American could not fill. In the recent American society, the most important economic contributions immigrants make is innovation, they increase the productivity growth. And fast economic growth leads to raise living standards. So immigrants are essentially parts of American society.  

                     I found lots of headline news about there is lots of positive news and report about how immigrants make vital contribution to society. For example, immigrants created businesses at higher rates than did American.  This contribution is most notable in the high-tech sector, where immigrants were key founders in one-quarter of U.S. high-tech startups between 1995 and 2005. Another example is the recent announcement of New York City’s comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli that Immigrants in New York City accounted for $210 billion in economic activity in 2011, or about 31 percent of New York City’s gross city product

                      I know I still need lots of work to support my research about immigrants’ contribution to the American society, and I will find through online resources, library resources, any kind newspaper, and academic database. After that, I will arrange to a research paper to support immigration.
