Immigrant Laborers Continue to Strengthen American Workforce, Economy

Immigration Impact
by Michele Waslin

Immigrant workers spend their wages in U.S. businesses—buying food, clothes, appliances, cars, etc.—which sustains the jobs of the workers employed by those businesses. Moreover, businesses respond to the presence of new workers and consumers by investing in new restaurants, stores, and production facilities. The end result is more jobs for more workers.

This Labor Day, we reflect on the many contributions workers make to the U.S.—including those of immigrant workers. While immigration restrictionists have long tried to demonize immigrant workers and blame them for high unemployment rates and other economic woes, the facts make it clear that immigrants actually create jobs and businesses and boost the wages of native-born workers. Research shows time and time again that immigration levels are positively correlated with economic output and growth.

According to the Fiscal Policy Institute, economic growth of the top 25 metropolitan areas and growth in the immigrant share of the workforce are closely connected. In the period studied, from 1990 to 2006, Phoenix, Dallas, and Houston saw the fastest growth in immigrant share of the labor force and had well above-average economic growth. The three metropolitan areas with the slowest economic growth—Cleveland, Pittsburgh, and Detroit—had among the smallest increases in immigrant share of the labor force.

Immigrants add to the economy in a number of ways:

They increase the overall number of workers, which makes the economy larger and increases gross domestic product (GDP).

They complement the U.S. workforce which today is older and more educated than ever before. Immigrant workers tend to be concentrated at the top and the bottom of the educational scale, while most Americans fall somewhere in the middle. In other words, immigrants and native-born workers have different levels of education, work in different occupations, and live in different areas of the country.

Immigrant workers spend their wages in U.S. businesses—buying food, clothes, appliances, cars, etc.—which sustains the jobs of the workers employed by those businesses. Moreover, businesses respond to the presence of new workers and consumers by investing in new restaurants, stores, and production facilities. The end result is more jobs for more workers

Finally, immigrants are entrepreneurial and more likely than natives to start their own businesses. According to a report from the Kauffman Foundation, “immigrants were more than twice as likely to start businesses each month than were the native-born in 2010.â€

Mexicans are uniting in political PACS in great numbers. They are the largest political voting block in US history, or so they want us to believe. They also want us to believe the United States would dry up and blow away, if not for them here doing all our manual labor.

The above article is chock-full of LIES.

Nowhere does it say one word about the BILLIONS of US dollars SENT TO MEXICO each year by illegal aliens in the underground economy.

Nowhere does it mention that over EIGHT MILLION AMERICANS have been displace by illegal alien workers from Mexico.

I'll fight hard to get rid of these illegal alien economic, criminal siphons.

They also want us to believe the United States would dry up and blow away, if not for them here doing all our manual labor.

What a crock!!! Where I live the illegals just started in the past couple of years to do the lawns of businesses. Before the illegals were doing it. I never, ever saw the lawns looking like they needed to be done. I never saw a sign in any resturant either, that they were closed for the day, because they had no help. Never.

Invoking similar logic, I suppose we should decriminalize bank robbery because after all, the robber will spend those ill gotten gains on food, clothing, cars, and housing, thereby creating jobs for Americans. So what if the money doesn’t belong to the thief, since we can just assume the owner of the money probably doesn’t want it anyway.

I suppose it really doesn’t matter anyway. Ten more years of unrestricted illegal immigration and the rule of law will be moot anyway. America will be reduced to a lawless third-world mexico - like country where corruption and payoffs are the norm.
