Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–May 17, 2013. A new report released today by the Center for American Progress found that comprehensive immigration reform, such as the proposed legislation recently filed by the Senate’s bipartisan “Gang of 8,” will lead to significant economic gains for numerous states, including states with the highest undocumented immigrant populations. The report, “National and State-by-State Economic Benefits of Immigration Reform,” outlines how granting undocumented immigrants access to both legal status and earned citizenship will boost states’ economic growth, earnings, tax revenues, and job creation—improving the lives of all Americans.
