Outline of proposed changes
Proposed changes that I would like to add to the existing article is the struggles that foreign immigrants face, more specifically focusing on Black immigrants moving to the United States, as well as the struggles that Black Americans face with the feeling of competition with foreign workers and the preference owners of capital and beneficiaries have towards foreigners over Black Americans trying to earn a living. In both parties the experience I take from both perspectives, is the feeling of being "othered" either because of being seen as less skilled in the field by American standards of education therefore, being paid significantly less, or because of the rejection of receiving jobs due to the biases against Black Americans.


 * Immigration to the United States not only impacts people of Asian descent in wages, but also the Black population of America. Being the second major factor to wage inequalities, Black men and women that move into the United States are considered unskilled according to the American education standard. As a result, because of the increase of immigrant workers in the United States, the main beneficiaries of the wage inequality amongst Black immigrants as well as other immigrants are the populations of high skilled workers, and owners of capital, which is a population that is dominated by White individuals (McCall, Leslie). However, this isn't the only issue seen with immigrant or foreign birth when it comes to black men and women. Black women have expressed from personal experience that they had been considered less favorable compared to foreign workers when applying for jobs. Due to this there had been a competition between black workers born in America versus immigrant workers applying for jobs. "On the other hand, employers express preferences for immi-grant workers over black workers, and blacks express their sense of competition with immigrants over job opportunities (Kirschenman and Neckerman 1991) " (McCall Leslie).
