The widely-accepted view that immigrants have a long-term benefit on the receiving country's economy is supported by the findings of two recent studies.
Both studies make it clear that when the immigration argument is held in purely economic terms, the only possible conclusion is that more newcomers mean greater prosperity.
This past year the family purchased there first car, both children work 5 days a week after attending high school classes. The father works 6 days a week in a manufacturing plant and attends ESL classes in the evenings.
