Ignore the rhetoric; immigrants are good for America

If you listen to the rhetoric, immigrants take jobs away from Americans, drain billions from our economy and pose a threat to the safety of our nation, but in reality immigrants are good for America and creating a path to citizenship creates new jobs, increases tax revenue and reduces crime, while deporting 12 million people is impractical and would cost the economy jobs, decrease tax revenue and cause an increase in crime. Forcing these immigrants to live in the shadows is neither logical, nor practical. Providing for a path to legal status would create jobs and increase wages, require that immigrants pay all local, state and federal taxes, which would reduce the deficit, and providing immigrants with more opportunities to provide for their families, will reduce crime. We can continue to listen to those that are trying to force an immoral personal agenda upon us, or we can stand up for what is right and in the best interest of Americans and immigrants alike.
