"Contributions of Immigrants to the United States"

A common claim among critics has been that immigrants take jobs away from Americans and decrease wages in the United States. They believe this has also contributed to a higher unemployment rate in the United States. A study done by the Pew Hispanic Center last year found that there is not enough evidence to support this claim. The Pew Hispanic Center receives its funds from the Pew Charitable Trusts. It is a research organization that focuses on controversial issues like genetics and climate change. The Pew Hispanic Center strives to present unbiased information to the public. While this claim may hold true in some states, the Pew Hispanic Center found that the claim cannot be applied to the United States in general. In addition, the study found that there was no significant correlation among employment rates and immigration rates. The data was taken from the U.S. Census Data, comparing data from 1990 up until 2004. In one example, the study took the 10 states with the highest employment rates during a four year period (2000 to 2004). Half of the states experienced high immigration into the states but the other half had low immigration growth. Even in times where there was some degree of economic slowdown, there was found to be no significant correlation between immigrant growth and unemployment rate. In the states with a lower influx of immigrants, 60% of American workers did not post permanent gains in the employment sector. However, the study did not distinguish between immigrants that are legal and those who are illegal in the United States.

Do Immigrants Pay Their Fair Share of Taxes? You Bet They Do!

Immigrant Households and Businesses Generate Billions: In 2005, immigrant households and businesses paid approximately $300 billion in federal, state, and local taxes: $165 billion in federal income taxes, $85 billion in state and local income taxes, and $50 billion in business taxes.

Immigrants Pay More in Taxes Than They Use in Services Over Their Lifetimes: Depending on skills and level of education, each immigrant pays, on average, between $20,000 and $80,000 more in taxes than he or she consumes in public benefits.

Immigrants' Relative Youth Contributes To Social Security's Health: Current levels of immigration will provide a net benefit to the Social Security system of nearly $450 billion in taxes paid over benefits received during the 2006-2030 period--and almost $4.4 trillion during the 2006-2080 period. This is because 75 percent of immigrants arrive in the US when they are in their prime working years (age 18 to 65). But the share of native-born citizens in their prime working years now stands at only 60 percent, and will decline rapidly over the coming decades as the Baby Boomers retire.

Immigrants Educated on Home Country's Tab: The roughly 26 million immigrants now in the United States who arrived when they were over the age of 18--after their upbringing and basic education were paid for in their home countries--represent a windfall to American taxpayers of roughly $2.8 trillion. The US receives all of the tax payments made by these immigrants, while bearing almost none of the costs of raising and educating them.

Answer 3

How about the negative effect illegal immigration has on the African American unskilled labor force.

If illegal immigration were not a factor it is believed many of those jobs would then be filled by African Americans who have a huge unemployment rate.
