Self-Interests vs Migrants: Preserving Jobs and Economic Stability
Introduction
The issue of self-interests versus migrants in relation to preserving jobs and economic
stability is a complex and contentious one. In today's globalized world, the movement of people
across borders has become increasingly common, raising concerns about its impact on domestic
job markets.
During times of conflict or economic downturn, prioritizing self-interests becomes necessary to
protect domestic job markets. The influx of migrants can potentially create competition for jobs,
leading to unemployment and instability. For instance, a study by Smith (2017) found that
increased immigration in certain sectors led to wage suppression and reduced employment
opportunities for native workers.
Governments must focus on their citizens' employment and economic well-being to
reduce unemployment rates. This can be achieved through various policies such as job creation

programs or protectionist measures. For example, a study by Johnson (2018) highlighted how
investment in infrastructure projects created new jobs while boosting the overall economy.
While it is important to consider the potential benefits of these policies - such as
increased employment opportunities - there are also drawbacks to consider. Protectionist
measures may lead to retaliatory trade policies from other countries, potentially harming overall
economic growth.
In conclusion, balancing self-interests with humanitarian concerns requires careful
consideration and policy formulation. By doing so, nations can achieve a delicate equilibrium
that upholds their economic interests while also respecting the rights and dignity
