The Benefits of Immigration

[dkrank]

Too often people discuss the potential downsides to immigration, but no one really talks about the benefits. As the population grows the economy grows with it. I was just recently looking at an infographic on the benefits that immigration has brought Florida . Immigrant business owners brought in $13.3 billion last year. If all immigrants left the state, Florida would suffer $43.9 billion in economic activity and $19.5 billion in gross state product.

I opened up this thread to hear others thoughts and maybe the benefits in similar states.
