Immigration: Refugees and Asylees — Unit test

Question 1 • TX-World Geography Studies A

Which of the following statements about migrant workers is true?

Answer

Migrant workers threaten a country’s economy because they typically take the most desirable jobs.

Migrant workers often receive remittances, or monies from their home country, to help them while working abroad.

Globally, the term "migrant worker" is synonymous with "illegal immigrant."

Educated and talented migrant workers can contribute to a foreign economy, but they often leave their home economy disadvantaged.

Explanation

Educated and skilled migrant workers can add valuable knowledge and labor to the economy where they work. When they leave, their home country may lose people whose skills and education could have supported its economy. Remittances are generally money migrant workers send to their home country, not money they receive from it, so B is incorrect.
