Furthermore, being on the dole lessens an immigrant?s likelihood of being approved to sponsor a family member for residency in the US, which is many immigrants? primary objective (226). There are economic benefits from immigration. These benefits occur because certain abilities brought to America by immigrants complement the skills of the native population (Borjas 233). Also the jobs taken by immigrants will create more jobs by spewing the money they earn and spend back into the economy (Kinsley 215). According to Michael Kinsley,? The more the merrier is a tenet of capitalism dating back to Adam Smith, and nothing I have seen disproves it.?(215) In addition, while immigration lowers native?s wages slightly, they add seven billion dollars to our economy a year. That averages out

to only thirty dollars per capita, but nonetheless it is still an increase (Borjas 237-238). Immigration is a part of America?s history. All of us have ancestors who immigrated to America or else we immigrated ourselves. Immigrants contribute to our economy, expand our culture and enrich our nation. I only hope that people will be able to immigrate tomorrow, as they were when my ancestors came to America to insure a better life for themselves and their posterity. 5b9 Borjas, George J. ?The New Economics of Immigration.?
