As the US population ages, our new study finds that it’s absolutely crucial that legal immigration increase to meet the needs of labor markets and keep the US economy growing.  We can’t get to 3%+ economic growth without more immigrants.

Here is the Fox analysis:

The conservative advocacy group Unleash Prosperity released a report that emphasized the importance of legal immigration to the U.S. economy over the next several decades due to demographic challenges. The report noted the Trump administration set a goal of 3% or higher GDP for the next decade — a goal that would prove challenging without increased legal immigration.

The study highlighted the role played by immigrants in the innovation of new technologies as well as entrepreneurship. It also detailed how children of immigrants typically have incomes higher than their parents along with the total U.S. population, due in part to higher rates of attaining graduate or professional degrees.

“Immigrants tend to be net contributors to the public fiscal because they pay payroll taxes but they don’t have parents who collect benefits,” Unleash Prosperity co-founder and economist Steven Moore told FOX Business. “Their children pay for their benefits.”
