Strong Immigrant Workforce And Secure Borders

Immigrants aren’t just part of America’s past, they’re powering its future. With key players in healthcare, STEM, AI, manufacturing, and transportation, immigrants make up critical portions of the workforce across industries that keep our country running:

Hospitality

30%

Agriculture

70%

Construction

25%

  • Economic Impact: $7 Trillion in Growth


    Immigrants are projected to add $7 trillion to U.S. GDP and $1 trillion in tax revenue over the next decade, driving job creation, wage growth, inflation control, and innovation. They’re not just part of the workforce, they’re fueling America’s economy.

  • Powering Economic Growth and Strengthening America


    It is imperative to protect immigrants like DACA recipients and others who came through legal channels and are contributing to our society and our economy. 

  • Security and Infrastructure Concerns Are Real


    The border crisis isn’t just about national security. It’s also about community strain. From education and healthcare to housing and public safety, our border towns and cities are being stretched beyond their limits.

What We Need

Secure Our Borders
