The immigration debate has become polarized, with Republicans portraying immigrants as a threat to economic and cultural stability. However, the facts tell a different story. Undocumented workers contribute greatly to the economy through taxes and labor, especially in crucial industries like construction and agriculture. Removing a significant portion of this workforce would shrink GDP, strain budgets, disrupt supply chains, and drive up costs for all Americans. We must reject divisive rhetoric and recognize the vital role immigrants play in our society and economy. A pragmatic, facts-based approach that prioritizes economic prosperity for all working families is needed to resolve this issue equitably.
