Ted Fishman Looks at Positive Impact of Immigrants

Ted Fishman provided a positive look at the impact of immigrants on American economic and social trends in a February 3 column in USA Today titled, "Immigrants Help Grow Our Economy." Fishman writes, 

Of course, we can't just open our borders to all comers, but we can make it easier to attract the younger and educated immigrants our economy needs to grow. As members of Congress consider the proposals, they should consider some factors that could surprise them. In America today, states and cities grow on the strength of immigration. Without it, their populations grow older and their workforces go wanting.
