In fact, immigrants contribute to the U.S. economy in many ways. They work at high rates and make up more than a third of the workforce in some industries. Their geographic mobility helps local economies respond to worker shortages, smoothing out bumps that could otherwise weaken the economy.

  1. immigrants contribute to the U.S. economy in many ways. They work at high rates and make up more than a third of the workforce in some industries. Their geographic mobility helps local economies respond to worker shortages, smoothing out bumps that could otherwise weaken the economy.

Immigrants have long made up a significant portion of the U.S. population. In recent years, they have comprised almost 14 percent.

Congress has failed to agree on how to address immigration challenges such as border security and undocumented immigration. The deadlock has left many policy questions up to the courts and executive branch.

President Trump has restricted immigration on multiple fronts, stoking controversy and legal challenges.
