2 This examination assesses your ability to write in response to a prompt based on a given text. Write an expository essay of about words to a university lecturer in response to the following question: People in many countries do not welcome an open door migration policy. Yet, migration is important in strengthening international trade, as well as building prosperous social and political relationships. What can governments do to better integrate migrants to the host country? You are required to use information from the text to support your ideas. You have to acknowledge information taken from the text using proper academic conventions. You will be assessed on sophistication and sufficiency of ideas, use of information from the reading text, clarity and logical development of ideas, and language fluency and accuracy. Text Migrants Welcome, up to a Point The backlash against immigrants in the rich world is a threat to prosperity everywhere. British politicians of all stripes promise to curb the rapid immigration of recent years. Voters in France, Switzerland and Denmark last year rewarded politicians who promised to keep out strangers. In America, huddled masses are less welcome as many presidential candidates promise to fence off Mexico. The Eurobarometer poll in July 2015 found that immigration had become Europeans biggest concern, far ahead of the economic issues that usually dominate such surveys. Around the rich world, immigration has been rising to the top of voters' lists of concerns, which, for those who believe that migration greatly benefits both recipient and donor countries, is a worry in itself. What a large population of people do not realise, however, is that immigration takes many forms. The influx of Poles to Britain, Mexicans to America, Zimbabweans to South Africa, and Bangladeshis to the Persian Gulf, has different causes and consequences in each case. In fact, most often migration is about young, motivated, dynamic people seeking to better themselves by hard work. History has shown that immigration encourages prosperity. Millions of Europeans who made it to the New World in the 19th and 20th centuries improved their lives, just as the near 40 million foreign-born are doing in America today. Many migrants who decide to return home are able to take back with them new skills, savings, technology and bright ideas. Remittances to poor countries on average yearly are worth at least $260 billion which is more, in many countries, than aid and foreign investment combined. Letting in migrants does vastly more good for the world's poor than stuffing any number of notes into Oxfam donation tins. The movement of people also helps the rich world. Prosperous countries with growing workforces rely heavily on young foreigners. Indeed, advanced economies compete vigorously for outsiders' skills. Around a third of the Americans who won Nobel prizes in Page 1 UEE 2017 Paper Two
3 physics in the past seven years were born abroad. About 40% of science and engineering PhD holders working in America are immigrants. Around a third of Silicon Valley companies were started by Indians and Chinese. The low-skilled are needed too, especially in farming, services and care for children and the elderly. It is no coincidence that countries that welcome immigrants, such as Sweden, Ireland, America and Britain, have better economic records than those that shun them. Given all these gains, why is there a backlash? This is partly because politicians prefer to pander to xenophobic fears than to explain immigration's benefits. Yet, not all fear of foreigners is irrational. Voters have genuine concerns. Large numbers of incomers may be unsettling; economic gloom makes natives fear for their jobs; sharp disparities of income across borders threaten rich countries with floods of foreigners; outsiders who look and sound notably different from their hosts may find it hard to integrate. To keep borders open, such fears have to be acknowledged and dealt with, not swept under the carpet. Americans object to the presence of around 12 million illegal migrant workers in a country with high rates of legal migration. However, given the American economy's reliance on them, it is not just futile but also foolish to build taller fences to keep them out. Congress must resume its efforts to bring such workers out of the shadows by opening more routes for legal, perhaps temporary, migration, and an amnesty for long-standing, law-abiding workers already in the country. Politicians in rich countries should also be honest about, and quicker to raise spending to deal with, the strains that immigrants place on public services. The reason for many not wanting an open migration policy is not all about money. As the London Tube bombers have shown, the social integration of new arrivals is also crucial. The advent of Islamist terrorism has sharpened old fears that incoming foreigners may fail to adopt the basic values of the host country, thus potentially contributing to social unrests. Tackling this threat will never be simple, but nor would blocking migration do much to stop the dedicated terrorist. It is certainly better to seek ways to isolate the extremist fringe by making a greater effort to inculcate common values of citizenship where these are lacking, and through a flexible labour market to provide the disaffected with rewarding jobs. Above all, perspective is needed. The vast population movements of the past four decades have not brought the social strife the scaremongers predicted. On the contrary, they have offered a better life for millions of migrants and enriched the receiving countries both culturally and materially. To preserve these great benefits in the future, politicians need the courage not only to speak up against the populist tide in favour of the gains immigration can bring, but also to deal honestly with the problems it can sometimes cause.
