Answer:
1. Immigrants Are Job and Wealth Creators:
In 2017, immigrants in the United States paid $405.4 billion in taxes, including $125.1 billion in state and local taxes, and $280.3 billion in federal taxes. Additionally, the United States has over three million immigrant entrepreneurs; and their risk-taking, creativity, and hard work benefit the country in massive ways. For example, in 2007 alone, immigrant-owned businesses created nearly 6 million jobs for native-born Americans. Today, nearly half of all U.S. Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants and their children.
2. Immigrants Are Drivers of Social and Cultural Advancement:
Immigrants have contributed so much to our society and culture across the board. Take music: today, the United States has nearly 23,000 professional immigrant musicians. Or film: immigrants make up more than one in eight workers in the movie industry. Or scientific advancement: A quarter of U.S. patents included at least one non-citizen inventor in 2007, and more than a third—33 of 85—of America’s nobel prize laureates in science have been immigrants. From science and technology, to music and sport, immigrants’ contributions to the rich and diverse cultural fabric of America are endless.
3. Immigrants are change makers:
There are fourteen foreign-born voting members of America’s 116th Congress. Those representatives, born as far afield as Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Japan, India, Taiwan, Poland, Ecuador, Vietnam, Somalia, Cuba, and Guatemala, are but one demonstration of the work that immigrants do every day to drive change in and give back to our communities. In 2019, immigrants made up 20 percent of Forbes’s Class of 30 under 30. As a matter of fact, young immigrants change makers in particular have been contributing so much to our communities that Forbes started its own 30 under 30 Immigrants. From political leaders and community organizers to artists and small business owners, immigrants play a vital role in building and strengthening our social cohesion.
