Immigrants contribute to economy

All wage earners pay Social Security and Medicare tax. Most have income tax withheld and pay sales taxes, property and others. They buy in retail stores, making employment for retail workers and managers, and profit for retail employers. And they buy cars, buy or rent housing, etc., making more jobs, more profits and more revenue.

Therefore immigrants of any kind working legal jobs have not “stolen” them. Rather like everyone else, they create employment for others, profit for business and taxes for governments and more.

George A. Staffa, Butler
