John,
When you turn on the news, you get a particular—and often bleak—view of immigration in the United States.
But when you look at the real data, you get a different story: one of the continuing and evolving role immigrants play in our nation’s economic and civic wellbeing.
The American Immigration Council just released our 2023 Map the Impact report, an interactive data-map showcasing the contributions of immigrants in the country, all 50 states, and industry sectors across the economy. It also features hundreds of stories and videos from local leaders talking about why immigration matters to them.
Some key findings from the report include:
-
1 in 8 U.S. residents is an immigrant.
-
Immigrants paid over $500 billion in taxes in 2021.
-
22% of all U.S. entrepreneurs are immigrants.
Map the Impact shows that immigrants are helping to grow the economy across the entire United States.
Sincerely,
|
