The economical rules instituted in the United States support a free-market economy. This economical system at its purest form should deny any governmental intervention and leave the decisions of investment, production and distribution to the people. Although an economy where the government intervenes to maximize profitability can arguably be more beneficial to the economy, it is virtually unconstitutional. The ethnic homogeneity of certain neighborhoods naturally leads to an economical structure of similar ethnic background. These enclaves represent the community’s ethnicity and provide a sentimental value to the inhabitants. If profitability were to be the sole focus of the government and these enclaves were to be removed, a part of the community would be removed as well. Besides for the sentimental aspect involved in separating culture from the society, multiple jobs would be lost. The immigrants who manage these enclaves are often incapable of working other jobs due to language barriers and lack of education. By removing these enclaves that enrich the neighborhood, the government would not only be destroying the lives of many inhabitants, but also obliterate the culture.
