Immigrants will save the Michigan economy unless Trump gets his way.

Build that wall asshole.

"But nevertheless, over the last 15 years, our foreign-born population has grown by nearly 25%, while the number of native-born has actually declined. “We depend on them to rebuild communities, start new businesses, and put people to work,” Tobocman said of immigrants.

They’ve been doing that. The foreign-born are less than 7% of the population, but are responsible for a quarter of all the high-tech startups in the state, and create a quarter or more of the new software and engineering jobs.

Governor Rick Snyder gets this.

He attempted, unsuccessfully, to get the federal government to give Michigan a huge number of visas for technologically skilled immigrants he wanted to attract to Detroit.

Now, things are worse. As the report details, things like the new Administration’s attempted travel ban has had a chilling effect on legal immigrants and our economy.

The full report is well-written and not long; you can easily find it online. The bottom line is that Washington is now pushing policies that seem certain to ruin our state further, and that’s something you should know."

The truth about immigrants in Michigan.

btw most of those immigrants are darker than us old Europeans.

Yeah being on public aid is a sure way to save our economy....
