#Immigrants make up 5% of the U.S. prison population while representing only 7% of the total U.S. population.

#Immigrants participate in the U.S. labor force at a higher (slightly) rate than native-born Americans & earn consistently less than native-born workers. 25M+ immigrants are workforce members.

#Immigrants drive job growth thru every sector & industry in our economy, not only for other immigrants but also native-born Americans. Without #immigration there would be fewer jobs, businesses & inventions.

#Immigrants add trillions of dollars to the U.S. gross GDP & their economic importance will only increase in the coming decades as baby boomers retire en masse. Broader economic benefits could be obtained thru legislative reforms modernizing our #immigration system
