Answer preview
Trump also believes the free movement of people into the United States due to globalization is negatively affecting the quality of lives for Americans (Kamarck et al., 2017). The increased immigration results in many Americans losing their jobs to the immigrants. In some cases, crime rates also rise due to immigrants’ presence (Kamarck et al., 2017). Globalization is moving at an accelerated speed, which means that countries and people who cannot keep up will be left behind. Superficially, globalization might seem like it benefits people. However, according to a poll, seventeen percent of people feel that globalization has not resulted in any substantial change in matters of wages and job creation (Hughes, 2019).
