Immigration fuels the economy. When immigrants enter the labor force, they increase the productive capacity of the economy and raise GDP.
Examples:
-Immigrants are highly entrepreneurial, launching new companies at twice the rate of native-born Americans and creating large numbers of jobs.
-The United States needs immigrants to stay competitive and drive economic growth, Particularly as our economy starts to reopen, individuals who create jobs are absolutely critical to our recovery.
-Immigrants tend to be well-educated and skilled in their fields. 43% of recently-arrived family and diversity-based immigrants are college graduates – compared to 29% of native-born Americans.
