Abstract

We look at “labor-exportation”, which is believed to be a new form of accumulation within the globalization process. It is the major consequence of immigration. We analyze the importance of legal and undocumented immigration. Workers fill the U. S. labor market with their labor. The United States is a leading country on the development of economic knowledge and plays an important role in the agro-industrial sector. This country experiences demographic challenges. It attracts workers from other countries. Workers become extremely important to its economy. The United States gets more foreign direct investment than any country in the world, which puts pressure on its market, and brings new workers from abroad in great numbers. The new labor-exportation model reshapes the international division of labor. Underdeveloped countries are now exporting labor force to the United States as much as, or more so than sending raw material and other agricultural goods.
