1. A record high of 75 percent of Americans now say immigration is a “good thing” for the country.
2. America needs more immigrants, not fewer, because our population is rapidly aging.
3. Historically, new immigrants have contributed more to society in taxes than they have taken from society in terms of public assistance.
4. Most immigrants don’t take jobs away from native-born Americans. To the contrary, their spending creates more jobs.
5. Trump’s claim that undocumented immigrants generate more crime is dead wrong. Both legal and undocumented immigrants are significantly less likely to commit crimes than people born in the United States.
6. Violent crime rates in America are actually at historical lows, with the homicide rate back to its level from the early 1960s.
7. Illegal border crossings have been declining since 2014 – long before Trump’s “crackdown.” There is no “surge” in illegal immigration.
Please spread the truth.

This blog will focus on political images I have found all around the Internet, though I will intersperse some commentary and quotes that I find interesting.
