Trump’s immigration policy is not only chaotic and cruel, it is having a disastrous effect on our economy
- Birth rates in the US are declining. Without immigration, the American population will start shrinking by 2030.
- Population growth is a driver of economic activity. Without a growing population, the aging population burden on the Federal government increases
- Immigrants make up a significant percentage of jobs that are critical in the US, including farming, home health aides, and construction. And, more than a quarter of our doctors come from another country!
- Immigrants are very successful in business. 44% of founders of unicorn companies started in the US are immigrants. Immigrants also make up nearly half of the CEOs of Fortune 500 companies
