Census indicates there is a need for immigration.
May 11, 2021
The 2020 census showed that the 7.4% growth over the last decade is the second slowest ever. If that pace continues, there is a real possibility that fewer younger workers will be supporting the older Americans. Immigration is one of the most important correctives to this problem, as experts state. Analysts are saying that America’s long-term economic outlook almost certainly requires stronger immigration. Immigrants, it’s estimated, several years ago added $2 trillion to the GDP and more than $450 billion to overall tax revenues. They stimulate economic growth because many are entrepreneurial, others do jobs that are hard to fill, and they represent a younger force that can support our aging population.
