Although it requires some adjustment by those already here, immigration has made the U.S.A. the most prosperous nation on Earth.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Immigration is America's No. 1 economic asset. The rest of the world can't do that. We can have every smart person we want, every high-skilled person we want.
Immigration is one of the leading contributors to population growth.
The U.S. is a complex country. It has a high predominance of immigrants who have been eminently successful.
Immigrants create an engine of economic prosperity.
Besides taking jobs from American workers, illegal immigration creates huge economic burdens on our health care system, our education system, our criminal justice system, our environment, our infrastructure and our public safety.
Immigration comes up, but the issue that is on everybody's mind is the economy.
If we build the legal immigration system better, then they come here, and we'll have a whole lot less illegal immigration.
As legal residents, immigrants would contribute more in taxes, spend more at our businesses, start companies of their own and create more jobs. Immigration is not a problem for us to solve but an opportunity for America to seize.
The United States is historically a nation of immigrants.
Decades of record immigration have produced lower wages and higher unemployment for our citizens, especially for African-American and Latino workers. We are going to have an immigration system that works, but one that works for the American people.
