The Second Wave of American Slavery In 1938, Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law a minimum wage of $0.25 an hour. This was part of his initiative to lift the United States out of the Great Depression, and provide every American with a livable paycheck. Since then, the minimum wage has increased to account for inflation. However, many Americans are still working full time in poverty. This discouraging figure, along with the prohibitively high cost of a higher education has led to a second wave of slaves in the twenty-first century.
Labor unions spent an estimated $174 million on the 2012 election, with 91% of the money going to Democrats, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Now many union members could see their paychecks grow as the result of a Democrat-backed mandate—even though the overwhelming majority of scholarly evidence says that these wage increases have a negative effect on employment. Mr. Berman is the executive director of the Center for Union Facts.

Moreover, immigrants show their willingness to cooperate in the American notion of nationalism through serving under the American forces, and in 2008, over 65000 of the forgings were serving under the US flag (Gold, 2015). In conclusion, immigration should be considered more as a useful source that could lead the states to a better future, with better economy, more businessmen, and more scientists. In like manner, the government should consider reforming immigration to fix the flaws in immigration laws in order to make more beneficial source.

Yes, they are saving money on wages and production, but they are taking jobs away from Americans who would use the money they make from the job to purchase the product the company is making. No money means no customers. Current research suggests that high import-competition industries accounted for about 40 percent of manufacturing job losses associated with trade-related job loss [ (Kletzer, 2005) ]. So you do the math and decide if the “1 million sales/marketing jobs in this country created by imports offsets the more than 5 million manufacturing jobs lost because of outsourcing” [ (Minnerick) ]. This is just part of the problem.
