Immigration: A Definite Economical Advantage Immigration: A Definite Economical Advantage In David Cole’s 1994 essay “Five Myths about Immigration”, he clearly explains that Immigration is, and will be an economical advantage. He associates these ‘Five Myths’, to being flaws, or misleading beliefs of the public on the issue of immigration. He goes on to argue how each ‘Myth’ is not, however, a mistake or flaw. Cole argues how these myths are actually proven benefits of the United States. David Cole is very opinionated, persuasive, and sensitive about the issue of immigration. Proven as Cole notes, “I am especially sensitive to this history…” (155), after finishing his opening in his essay about the history and beginning of immigration. This may make many readers weary about his argument; however, Cole uses many statistics and resources to back up his claims. For instance, when arguing against the first myth that “America is being overrun with immigrants” (156), Cole explains that this is not true. Cole states that, “As of 1990, foreign-born people made up only 8 percent of the population, as compared…of about 15 percent from 1870 to 1920” (156).
