Using Real Data to Push a False Narrative on Immigration
By Spencer Raley   June 25, 2019 5 Comments
 

How many times are we told that immigrants work harder than Americans? Or that more immigration is needed to extend the lifespan of Social Security? Mass immigration appears to be the solution to all of the United States’ financial woes. At least, that seems to be the message frequently pushed by the cheap-labor lobby and parroted by the mainstream media.

One organization that pushes this narrative is the New American Economy (NAE), which claims to “use powerful research to… tell a story of immigration that is about entrepreneurship, out-innovating our global competitors, and building prosperity in communities large and small across the country.” Essentially, the organization is very open about the fact that they want to portray immigrants as far more valuable than native-born American citizens. They primarily “prove” this by producing reports that tout the perceived benefits that immigrants provide to state and local economies.
