Because this country was founded in large part by those who fled various kinds of political and religious persecution, it has become of our historical responsibility to serve as an advocate for human rights. Now's the time to separate some of this fact from fiction. Immigrants take jobs away from Americans. America is being overrun by immigrants. Immigrants aren't really interested in becoming part of American society.
Immigrants contribute little to American society.
Immigrants take jobs away from Americans. Nothing could be further from the truth. Slightly more than 10 percent of the U.S. industrial workforce, or roughly 2.2 million Americans, are employed by foreign companies doing business in the United States. Additionally, the top 105 multinational corporations doing business here have U.S. affiliates that are so large they would qualify for the Fortune 500 list solely on the basis of their stateside operations. This, unfortunately, is another case where perception is out of sync with reality.
