The Economic Impact of Immigration

Immigrants Drive Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Economic Growth

Key Ingredients of a Dynamic Economy

Immigration provides a growing pool of highly educated workers and a diverse workforce, which are crucial for innovation and entrepreneurship.

Entrepreneurship

Immigrants are 80% more likely than native-born citizens to start a business and half of all venture capital-backed firms in Silicon Valley have at least one immigrant founder.

Patents & Advanced Degrees

Immigrants with advanced degrees are three times more likely to file patents.

Immigrants & Unicorn Startups

Over 50% of US unicorns were started by immigrants. Unicorn representing startups valued at over $1 billion.

Contributions to Science & Culture

Migrants are overrepresented among Nobel laureates, National Academy of Sciences members, and Oscar-winning directors.

Healthcare

90% of DACA recipients are employed, with many working in key industries such as healthcare, construction, technology, and retail. They pay $5.7 billion in taxes each year.

Agriculture

73% of farm workers in the United States are foreign-born. These workers are critical to the U.S. agricultural sector, which generates over $400 billion annually.

Politicians have been talking about fixing our immigration system for more than 30 years, but they haven’t really done anything about it. While lawmakers dither, the nation’s farmers, ranchers and dairy producers have faced massive labor shortages for years, and our industry is hurting.

Shay MyersCEO of Owyhee Produce, Idaho and Oregon

Immigrants play an essential role in strengthening our workforce and contributing to our success. ABIC urges policymakers to prioritize common-sense, bipartisan solutions that secure our borders and fix our broken immigration system. We must provide a permanent legal status for our hardworking Dreamers, ensuring they can continue to the future of our nation.

Craig DuchossoisExecutive Chair, The Duchossois Group

Employers across the United States are in desperate need of a high-quality, reliable workforce, and the immigration programs are in desperate need of meaningful, bipartisan reform. America’s agriculture, construction, manufacturing and healthcare industries need stable predictable, and legal workforce to benefit all Americans

Carole SegalCo-Founder, Crate And Barrel

To preserve America's position as the global leader in innovation, the U.S. immigration system must be reformed to attract and retain top talent. This requires enacting policies that address the ongoing labor shortage while providing stability and clarity for businesses, workers, and their families. Such reforms will ensure that the U.S. remains competitive, prosperous, and capable of meeting the demands of the future.
