How Immigrants Contributed to the Growth of the United States

The population in the United States grew by 131 million people from the year 1965 to 2015, and it is estimated that 72 million of them are from immigration. US Immigration Bonds believes that immigration is in integral part in the growth of the United States, bringing all things new to the economy, including ideas and business. 

Contrary to popular belief, immigrants do not push Americans out of jobs, but fill the jobs that Americans cannot, or will not fill. Immigrants also contribute to the growth of the United States because they raise the supply and demand for goods and services. They represent human capital that makes the entire economy more productive, especially when it comes to technology. In Silicon Valley and other areas where technology is prominent, immigrants have developed new products and created employment opportunities and boost earnings for hundreds and thousands of people all across the United States. It may come as a surprise that immigrants have ventured out and created technologies such as Google, eBay, Yahoo!, Intel, and more. 

Generations and generations of immigrants have helped build our cities, physically and technologically. Before the age of technology, immigrants contributed to the growth of the United States by building our roads and railway systems.  

Immigrants come to America to live the American Dream, and will continue to contribute to the growth of the United States as long as a proper strategy for immigration reform is set in place.
