To be an immigrant Since the COVID-19 has arrived in the lives of everyone and the borders have been closed to avoid contagious, many dilemmas about immigrants have been rising in the social debate. Some immigrants have caught up in a country that doesn´t want to hear about them anymore. It is not only that many of them are in the first line of unstable jobs, but also that are the major targets of a discriminatory speech. I want to talk about the problem between immigrants plus the economy and the message that some countries give to the population. In moments of crisis and instability, the political discourse can jump up to a wider audience, and get more approval between citizens. That is the case with the immigrant rhetoric and the belief that the economy has a fixed “lump of labor”. Politicians are using the nightmare idea of not having jobs against foreign workers to create hate among society. In response to that, some journalists wrote these statements and concluded that there are some fallacies in this position. Immigrants are important in the economy because they bring a greater diversity of skills in the labor market. Also, they arrive at places where natives don’t want to work. Some discriminatory measures to avoid immigrants, or to take them out is a misunderstanding of their value for the economy. Countries like Australia and Canada were using Immigrants as a priority of their economy, especially with education. In brief, we don’t know how much time coronavirus will stay, but is more important the way the government is dealing with this problem because their consequences will be longer lasting than the first one.
