Top Immigration Myths

It seems that with the 2015 election immigration is a hot debate topic and candidates, like Trump, are addressing the issue with a very controversial approach. With Immigration topics headlining the news these days, there is a lot of information swirling about, some of which is true and some of which is false. US Immigration Bonds wants to address some of the top immigration myths surrounding immigration bonds, immigration detainment, and immigration reform.

1. Immigrants do not pay taxes- Immigrants do pay taxes in the form of income, property, sales, and taxes at the federal and state level.
2. Immigrants come to America to take welfare- Immigrants come here to work and reunite with family members.
3. Immigrants send all of their money back to their home country’s households. Immigrants and their businesses contribute $162 billion in tax revenue to U.S. federal, state, and local governments.
4. Immigrants take jobs and opportunities away from Americans- Immigrant entrepreneurs create jobs for U.S. and foreign workers, and foreign-born students allow many U.S. graduate programs to keep their doors open. The biggest wave of immigration to the U.S. coincided with the lowest national unemployment rate and fastest economic growth.
5. Immigrants drain the U.S. economy- Immigrants fill jobs in key sectors that Americans do not typically want, start their own businesses, and contribute to a thriving economy.
6. Immigrants don’t want to learn English and become American- Within 10 years, 75% of immigrants speak English well.
7. Most Immigrants cross the border illegally- Around 75% of today’s immigrants have legal permanent visas.
8. Weak U.S. border enforcement has led to high undocumented immigration- The border patrol has toughened its enforcement strategy, heavily fortified typical urban entry points, and have pushed migrants into dangerous desert areas, in hopes of deterring crossings.
