The Metro Chicago Immigration Factbook

The article titled The Metro Chicago Immigration Factbook was very interesting in that it talked about all of the different ethic groups residing in Chicago and how the populations of each ethnic community fluctuate from year to year. One major topic that comes to my mind when immigration is involved is over-population. I am very concerned with this topic because the more people that come into the U.S., lessens the available spaces in the work force. Although I think that everyone should have equal opportunity to work the same jobs regardless of what background they are from, I also believe that a lot of qualified people are left without jobs because resources are scare.
Immigration can also be very costly because there would have to be a huge addition of schools for the added population. An addition of schools would not only bring the government in to help with funding, but it would also call for major help in Chicago’s city planning development. I believe that problems would increase because city planners would have to decide what landscapes they must replace with new school buildings. In a way this is a good idea but it is more so an inconvenience in areas that are cluttered and have no very public spaces used for parks, recreational centers, and etc.I am hoping that in the future, developers will come up with a better plan to balance both the incoming population and also our economy’s landscape to accompany everybody’s life needs.
