Answer 1

Diversity comes to the US.  Without change, there is a slow death.  Most legal immigrants have come in due to prowess in certain areas of engineering, medicine, etc to aid in areas that US citizens may not be able to keep up (especially true in medicine in under-serviced areas).

Of course, innovations in different areas of business, medicine, engineering, etc are also brought in.  The training in other countries may include new discoveries or even old discoveries with a new thought in how to implement them.  This aids businesses throughout the US.  Entrepreneurial expansion of successful foreign businesses also brings foreigns to the shores.

If the US closed its borders to all, including those that would aid the economy and the quality of life, it would be a pity.  The more realistic problem is those that come in illegally as I'm sure you're aware.  Those that arrive for family reunification will take jobs that would otherwise go to US citizens if they are not specifically trained in the above-mentioned areas.  They should not, however, be putting a strain on federal, state or municipal coffers as they are financially sponsored by a US citizen or landed immigrant.  They are less likely to be able to collect welfare or other social assistance programs than the US citizen himself.

Answer 2

Legal immigrants are a great way to increase diversity and learn new cultures. Legal immigrants help the country grow and prosper with their labor and new businesses being built and expanded.

Answer 3

Legal immigrants contribute by paying taxes, filling a need in certain career fields with workers and adding to the culture of the US.
