THE CRITICAL NEED FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM
IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL HELP THE US ECONOMY
Immigration reform will increase GDP: T|e US stands to gain an estinated S1.5 trillion over 1C years fron
conpre|ensive innigration reforn, in addition to a SCC billion boost in federal tax collection.
IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL MEAN BETTER SECURITY
nnigration Peforn Will Allow Law Enforcenent Pesources to Focus on Serious Crininals and T|reats.
Border agents are focused on major transnational criminal organizations that bring drugs, guns and
violence to our streets, and yet must spend much of their resources apprehending and removing
innigrants w|o |ave no crininal background or affliation and are nerely seeking to work or reunite
with family. By allowing those who pose no threat to come forward, undergo background checks and be
identifed easily in t|e future, law enforcenent can use its linited resources to focus on t|e true t|reats and
the unknowns and further intelligence-driven and risk-based policing.
Creating workable and adequate legal immigration channels for future immigrants to reunite with families
or fll econonic needs in t|e country will reduce t|e incentives for illegal entry and |elp our federal agencies
to secure the border.
IMMIGRATION REFORM UPHOLDS PRINCIPLES OF FAITH
More t|an 175,CCC C|ristians |ave answered our call to `Pray for Peforn and continue to learn about Cods
heart for the immigrant.Christians understand the importance of keeping families together and we support
legislation that reflects our Christian values.
We must respect human dignity and family unity as part of reform. We can honor the rule of law, secure our
borders, and chart a just and compassionate way forward for the millions of undocumented immigrants
living peacefully and productively in our midst. That means including a tough but fair path toward earning
eventual citizenship. We are not for amnesty or any special path, but the opportunity for aspiring
Americans to earn legal status and eventual citizenship is essential.
IMMIGRANTS FILL WORKFORCE SHORTAGES
Immgrants are essentaI tc IIng the massve shcrtfaII we face cf STEM wcrkers. Even if every Anerican
advanced degree STEM graduate gets a |ob after graduation, we will still face a pro|ected s|ortfall of nore
t|an 2CC,CCC advanceddegree STEM |obs by 2C18.
IMMIGRANTS ARE SUCCESSFUL ENTREPRENEURS AND INNOVATORS
Immigrants are far more entrepreneurial than their native-born counterparts: nnigrants are nore t|an
twice as likely as the native born to start a business.
Immigrants have created many of Americas greatest companies: 4C of Fortune 5CC conpanies were
founded by an immigrant or a child of an immigrant.
Immgrant-cwned busnesses make huge ccntrbutcns tc US CDP. nnigrantowned businesses
generated nore t|an S775 billion in revenue for t|e econony in 2C11.
Immigrants earned more than 3 out of every 4 patents (76%) t|at t|e top 1C US patentproducing
universities were awarded in 2011.

THE CRITICAL NEED FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM
US IMMIGRATION LAWS HURT OUR ABILITY TO EDUCATE AND INNOVATE
Just 7 of all visas are allocated for enploynent reasons in ot|er countries, its as nuc| as 5C. We
have no visa for entrepreneurs and our arbitrary country caps on visas have created years-long wait times
for citizens fron C|ina, ndia and ot|ers.
IMMIGRANTS IN AGRICULTURE
Many industries are entirely dependent on immigrant labor: Poug|ly 8C of all seasonal agriculture
workers in t|e US are foreignborn.
IMMIGRANTS AS YOUNG WORKERS
As baby bccmers retre, we are facng a wcrkfcrce crss. For 4C years, t|e nunber of seniors for every working
age adult |as been relatively constant at 2C seniors for every 1CC working age adults. Cver t|e next 2C years,
t|at nunber is set to spike by 7C. By 2C3C t|ere will be 34 seniors for every 1CC working age adults.
THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF DREAMERS AND A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP
Passing the DREAM Act will create jobs and boost economic activity by adding 1.4 nillion |obs and S329
billion to t|e econony over t|e next 2C years.
IMMIGRATION BY THE ISSUES
IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL HELP THE US ECONOMY
nnigration reforn will increase CDP. Currently, innigrants productivity raises CDP by about S37 billion
per year. T|e US stands to gain an estinated S1.5 trillion over 1C years fron conpre|ensive innigration
reforn, in addition to a SCC billion boost in federal tax collection.
Newly legalized innigrants will |elp create |obs. Hig|er personal incone of newly legalized innigrant
workers would generate increased consuner spending enoug| to support 75C,CCC 9CC,CCC |obs |ere in
t|e US
Cn average, innigrants inprove t|e living standards of Anericans. nnigrants raise t|e overall standard of
living for American workers by boosting wages and lowering prices.
Cne quarter of all USbased Nobel laureates over t|e past |alfcentury were foreignborn.
As a result of innigration, 9C of nativeborn Anericans wit| at least a |ig|sc|ool diplona |ave seen
their wages increase.
n t|e long run, innigrants increase overall average incones. n t|e long tern, innigrants do not reduce
native-born American employment rates, but they do increase productivity and hence average income.
For every 1,CCC innigrants t|at arrive to a county, 27C USborn residents nove t|ere in response, and t|e
average innigrant w|o noves to a connunity raises t|e total value of |ousing wealt| by S92,8CC.
Attracting 1CC,CCC new innigrants per year would preserve 4,CCC Anerican nanufacturing |obs and grow
US |ousing wealt| by S8C billion annually.
T|e nore t|an 4C nillion innigrants are responsible for an estinated S3.7 trillion boost to |one equity.
IMMIGRATION REFORM WILL MEAN BETTER SECURITY
nnigration Peforn Will Allow Law Enforcenent Pesources to Focus on Serious Crininals and T|reats.
Border agents are focused on major transnational criminal organizations that bring drugs, guns and
violence to our streets, and yet must spend much of their resources apprehending and removing

IMMIGRATION BY THE ISSUES (CONTINUED)
IMMIGRATION REFORM UPHOLDS PRINCIPLES OF FAITH
T|e nnigration Systen is Broken. T|e vast na|ority of undocunented innigrants stay in t|is country
for the opportunity to make a living and live the American dream like so many others. They would choose
to come legally if possible. But the current immigration system in most cases provides no avenues for
these individuals to immigrate legally, so in desperation to improve their situation they come without
authorization.
We must respect human dignity and family unity as part of reform. We can honor the rule of law, secure our
borders, and chart a just and compassionate way forward for the millions of undocumented immigrants
living peacefully and productively in our midst. That means including a tough but fair path toward earning
eventual citizenship. We are not for amnesty or any special path, but the opportunity for aspiring
Americans to earn legal status and eventual citizenship is essential.
IMMIGRANTS AS ENTREPRENEURS
nnigrants are driving new business growt| in t|e US. 28 of all conpanies founded in t|e United States
in 2011 had immigrant founders.
nnigrants |ave created nany of Anericas greatest conpanies. 4C of Fortune 5CC conpanies were
founded by an immigrant or a child of an immigrant.
nnigrantowned businesses nake |uge contributions to US CDP. nnigrant owned businesses generated
nore t|an S775 billion in revenue for t|e econony in 2C11.
nnigrantowned businesses are enploying nillions of workers. Cne in every 1C workers in t|is
country employed at a privately owned business is employed by a business owned by an immigrant.
nnigrants are far nore entrepreneurial t|an t|eir nativeborn counterparts. nnigrants are nore t|an
twice as likely as the native-born to start a business.
nnigrants start a quarter of engineering and tec|nology conpanies founded in t|e US. 24.3 of t|e
engineering and tec|nology conpanies founded in t|e US between 2CCC2C12 |ad at least one founder
w|o was foreignborn. n Silicon Valley, t|at rate was 43.9. Nationwide, t|ese conpanies enployed
about 5CC,CCC workers and generated SC3 billion in sales in 2C12.
Latino and Asian business owners create nillions of |obs. Businesses owned by Latinos and Asians
enploy 4.7 nillion workers a year.

IMMIGRATION BY THE ISSUES (CONTINUED)
IMMIGRANTS FILL WORKFORCE SHORTAGES
T|e US needs young workers. As baby booners retire, we are facing a workforce crisis w|ere we will |ave
a s|ortage of young workers. For 4C years, t|e nunber of seniors for every working age adult |as been
relatively constant at 2C seniors for every 1CC working age adults. Cver t|e next 2C years, |owever, t|at
nunber is set to spike by 7C, so t|at by 2C3C t|ere will be 34 seniors for every 1CC working age adults.
nnigrants are essential to flling t|e nassive s|ortfall we face of STEM workers. wit|out t|ese graduates,
we will cone now|ere close to fnding t|e nunber of science, tec|nology, engineering, and nat| (`STEM)
graduates our econony needs. Even if every Anerican advanceddegree STEM graduate gets a |ob after
graduation, we will still face a pro|ected s|ortfall of nore t|an 2CC,CCC advanceddegree STEM |obs by
2C18 t|at we cant fll.
Jobs in STEM |ave grown t|ree tines as fast as |obs in t|e rest of t|e econony over t|e last 1C years.
More t|an onefourt| of science and engineering frns already report diffculty |iring, and t|is is only going
to get worse because t|e nunber of Anericans studying STEM is growing by less t|an 1 per year.
US Science and Engineering prograns are increasingly dependent on innigrants. n recent years,
nearly |alf of t|e doctorates and nore t|an |alf of t|e post doctorates in science and engineering at US
universities were foreign.
The rising educational attainment of native-born workers suggests that few of them are in the market for
t|e kinds of lessskilled |obs currently flled by H2A and H2B visa |olders. For exanple, `in 195C, nore
t|an |alf of U.S.born workers |ad not conpleted |ig| sc|ool. Today t|e fgure is less t|an 5 percent
compared to nearly one-quarter of immigrant workers.
IMMIGRANTS AS INNOVATORS
nnigrants are inventing t|e products t|at will drive Anerican innovation over t|e coning generation. More
t|an 3 out of every 4 patents (7C) t|at t|e top 1C US patentproducing universities.
T|ose inventions are growing our econony. T|e National Bureau of Econonic Pesearc| reports t|at
innigrant innovations over t|e decade between 199C2CCC contributed to growing US CDP by 2.4.
Yet t|e US s|are of international patents is decreasing. For t|e frst tine in recent years, in 2CC9 nonUS
innovators earned nore patents t|an Anericans. Contrast t|at to 1999, w|en US innovators earned 57 of
patents worldwide.
Cur greatest scientists are disproportionately foreignborn. Cnefourt| of t|e Anericans w|o |ave won
Nobel Prizes |ave been innigrants, even t|oug| t|ey nake up |ust oneeig|t| of t|e population.
IMMIGRATION BY THE ISSUES (CONTINUED)
IMMIGRANTS IN AGRICULTURE
Many industries are entirely dependent on innigrant labor. Poug|ly 8C of all seasonal agriculture workers
in t|e US are foreignborn.
T|ere is a worker s|ortage on t|e farns. n a PNAE study of Nort| Carolina, researc| s|ows t|at t|ere is
virtually no supply of native nanual farn laborers in Nort| Carolina. n 2C11, wit| C,5CC available farn |obs
in t|e state, only 2C8 of t|e nearly 5CC,CCC unenployed Nort| Carolinians applied for t|ese |obs. More t|an
9C (245 people) of t|ose applying were |ired, but |ust 1C3 s|owed up for t|e frst day of work. Cnly seven
native workers conpleted t|e entire growing season, flling only onetent| of 1of t|e open farn |obs.
No natter |ow bad t|e econony becones, native workers still do not take farn |obs. n t|e late 2CCCs,
Nort| Carolina experienced an econonic s|ock t|at dranatically increased t|e states unenploynent rate,
fron 4.7 in 2CC7 to 1C.9 in 2C1C. Yet t|ere was alnost no correlation between rising unenploynent and
eit|er nore native workers being referred to NCCA |obs or nore workers starting at NCCA |obs, and t|ere
was no correlation between higher unemployment and more workers completing the growing season.
Foreign farn workers create |obs for Anerican workers. n 2C12, t|e foreignborn seasonal agriculture
workers w|o flled Nort| Carolina farn |obs added an estinated S248 nillion to S371 nillion to t|e state
econony t|at year. T|is econonic beneft created one US worker |ob for eac| 3.C to 4.C innigrant farn
workers w|o worked in Nort| Carolina.
IMMIGRANTS IN MANUFACTURING
For every 1,CCC innigrants living in a county, 4C nanufacturing |obs are created or preserved t|at would
ot|erwise not exist or would |ave noved elsew|ere.
T|e nore t|an 4C nillion innigrants currently in t|e US |ave created or preserved 1.8 nillion
manufacturing jobs nationally.
nnigration |as accounted for a connanding na|ority of |ob growt| in four of t|e fve US counties t|at |ave
experienced t|e greatest increase in nanufacturing |obs since 197C, suc| as Harris County in Texas |one to
Houston w|ere t|e increase of 43,299 nanufacturing |obs since 197C is attributable entirely to innigration.
IMMIGRANTS AS CITIZENS
Providing a pat| to citizens|ip to undocunented workers would generate about S13 billion per year in state
and local taxes, according to estinates by t|e nstitute for Taxation and Econonic Policy.
Cverall, naturalized innigrants |ave nuc| |ig|er nedian incones (nearly 5C percent in 2CC7) and nuc|
lower poverty rates (nore t|an 1C percent) t|an noncitizen innigrants, even w|en factors suc| as
education are taken into account.
T|e increase in incone as innigrants becone citizens |as a ripple effect on t|e econony. For every S1
increase in innigrants incones, t|ere is a S1.17 increase in CDP.
f innigration reforn denies innigrants an opportunity to gain citizens|ip, t|ere would be less of a beneft to
our econony t|an if t|ere was a pat| to citizens|ip. Cver a 1Cyear period, t|ere would be an increase in CDP of
S832 billion=signifcantly less t|an t|e S1.4 trillion we would gain if innigrants were given a pat| to citizens|ip.

IMMIGRATION BY THE ISSUES (CONTINUED)
IMMIGRANTS AND TOURISM
T|e travel industry is Anericas nunber one services export, generating S1C8.1 billion in travel exports last
year. W|ile travel is a key |ob creator and critical to t|e U.S. econony, barriers t|at international visitors face
in gaining a visa or entering t|e U.S. keep t|ese nunbers fron being even greater
n fact, fron 2CCC to 2C1C, t|e USs s|are of t|e global travel narket went fron 17 to 12 because of self
imposed barriers to international travel.
IMMIGRANTS AS YOUNG WORKERS
nnigrants are far nore likely to be of working age and can |elp ease t|e burden as baby booners retire.
According to t|e US Census, t|e ratio of working adults to seniors was 5 to 1 for t|e nativeborn. For
innigrants, t|e ratio is 28 to 1.
Even wit| |ig| unenploynent, t|e US governnent estinates t|at t|ere are currently nore t|an 3.8 nillion
|obs in Anerican t|at we cannot fll because t|e skills we |ave do not natc| t|e skills we need. nnigrants
are far nore likely to be lowskilled but also nore likely to be |ig|skilled. For exanple, in t|e |ealt|care
industry, immigrants are more than twice as likely to be physicians and surgeons at the high-skilled end but
also nearly twice as likely to be low-skilled nursing assistants and home health aides.
THE ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF DREAMERS AND A PATH TO CITIZENSHIP
Passing t|e DPEAM Act will create |obs and boost econonic activity. ncentivizing DPEAMers to pursue
college and allowing t|en to work |ere legally will add 1.4 nillion |obs and generate S329 billion in
econonic activity over t|e next 2C years.
Naturalized innigrants are nore valuable contributors in t|e labor narket, and outearn nigrants w|o are
not citizens by as nuc| as 1C.
OTHER COUNTRIES ARE MAKING EFFORTS TO RECRUIT THE TALENTED IMMIGRANTS WE ARE TURNING AWAY
C|ile offers S4C,CCC to entrepreneurs w|o start t|eir businesses t|ere, w|ile we dont even |ave a visa for
entrepreneurs to come here.
n late January, Canada announced a new startup visa to entice entrepreneurs wit| pernanent resident
status and a path to citizenship. When he was asked why Canada enacted this new measure, the countrys
Minster of Citizens|ip and nnigration Jason lenney said t|ey did it `to renain conpetitive in t|e global
economy.
China offers generous stipends, access to incubators, residency in Beijing, honorary titles, and other
incentives to lure top innovators back to China.
n Singapore, t|e governnent pays part of t|e salary for a startups frst enployees.
IMMIGRATION BY THE NUMBERS
Cur dysfunctional innigration systen is indefensible and frustrates enployers and workers alike. nstead of
promoting job creation and economic growth, the current immigration system puts American companies and
workers at a distinct competitive disadvantage in our global economy. We support immigration reform because
America cannot compete and win in a global economy without attracting and retaining the worlds most talented
and hardest workers.
6% OF ALL GREEN CARDS GO SPECIFICALLY TO WORKERS. Less t|an C (about 59,CCC) of t|e approxinately 1 nillion
new lawful permanent residents we welcome each year are workers, selected based on their skill sets and jobs they
will perforn in t|e US
10 YEAR WAIT FOR A GREEN CARD FOR TALENTED WORKERS. A professional worker born in ndia wit| a US Bac|elors degree
nust wait 1C years for a green card to be available after a sponsoring enployer docunents t|at US workers are not
available in suffcient nunbers. During t|e ten year wait, t|is worker cannot be pronoted until processing is conpleted.
Facing these bleak prospects, many of these talented workers take their skills to other countries, where they create new
products and jobs for Americas competitors.
5 DAYS TO FILL THE YEARLY H-1B HIGH-SKILLED VISA ALLOTMENT. n t|e frst 5 days of April 2C13 all of t|e H1B visa
nunbers for foreign professional |ires for fscal year 2C14 were allocated, C nont|s before t|e start of t|e fscal
year. n 5 of t|e years since Congress last considered innigration reforn, t|ere were zero H1B visa nunbers
during t|e fscal year all of t|e H1B visa nunbers were awarded prior to t|e beginning of t|e governnents fscal
year (neaning no businesses during t|e fscal year could sponsor a single new H1B worker).
7.5% OF ALL EMPLOYERS USE E-VERIFY. Cf t|e nations C.C5 nillion enployers, about 7.5 currently participate in
t|e voluntary EVerify enploynent verifcation systen. Wit|out a uniforn, national, nandatory enploynent
verifcation systen t|at is workable for enployers and used by all businesses, t|e country will continue to be a |ob
magnet for illegal immigrants.
4.64 ADDITIONAL US JOBS CREATED FOR EACH H-2B SEASONAL WORKER. Every 1CC lesserskilled seasonal workers
adnitted in H2B status is associated wit| an additional 4C4 |obs for USborn workers, because lesserskilled
innigrants generally conplenent, and do not conpete wit|, t|e existing Anerican workforce.
70% ILLEGAL WORKFORCE IN AGRICULTURE. About 7C of t|e workers in our agricultural sector are illegal, despite t|e fact
that the H-2A visa category for seasonal agriculture workers is unlimited, due to the fact that the visa process for this
category is unworkable for most employers.

(zero) lesserskilled workers to legally enter on tenporary worker visas to perforn in yearround positions after an

11 MILLION ENCOUNTERING DE FACTO AMNESTY. Current law creates de facto amnesty for 11 million illegal immigrants
living and working in our connunities w|o are unable to pay t|eir full s|are of federal, state and local taxes. An
earned lawful status process, without a bar to citizenship, would allow the undocumented to get right with the law.

IMMIGRATION IN FAITH, FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES
IMMIGRANTS AND THE BIBLE
The Bible is clear about how immigrants should be treated; the Hebrew word for immigrant, ger, is used in the Bible
92 tines and we are continuously called to care for t|e stranger in our nidst.
Specifcally, scriptures call us, in initation of Cod Hinself, to s|ow conpassion and |ustice for t|e so|ourner and
alien anong us (Exodus 22.21, Deuteronony 1C.1819, Psaln 94.C, Jerenia| 7.C, Ezekiel 22.29, Zec|aria| 7.1C)
Cur ancestors in t|e fait| were so|ourners and aliens in t|e land of Egypt (Exodus 1.114, 1 C|ronicles 1C.19, Acts
7.C) and our Lord Jesus C|rist lived His c|ild|ood years as an innigrant and refugee (Matt|ew 2.1323)
IMMIGRANTS AND THE EVANGELICAL COMMUNITY
Socially conservative evangelical C|ristians support innigration reforn. 75 of evangelicals polled by CBS News support
immigration reform policies including an earned legalization and citizenship process for undocumented immigrants.
More t|an 2CC of t|e nost proninent and respected leaders wit| Anerican evangelicalisn |ave affrned
an Evangelical Statenent of Principles for nnigration Peforn, including leaders of nearly every evangelical
denonination, presidents of C|ristian colleges and seninaries, executives of trusted C|ristian ninistries and non
proft organizations, and pastors of sone of t|e largest, nost influential c|urc|es in t|e country.
n evangelical c|urc|es across t|e country, t|e |earts and ninds of our congregations are c|anging in support of
innigration reforn consistent wit| biblical values. More t|an 18C,CCC C|ristians |ave answered our call to `Pray for
Peforn and continue to learn about Cods |eart for t|e innigrant.
No natter |ow t|e House proceeds, we ask t|at reforn include t|e core elenents t|at nake it t|e rig|t t|ing to
do. provide innigrants in our nidst t|e opportunity to cone out of t|e s|adows and eventually earn citizens|ip,
address border security in a fair and effcient way, ensure t|at fanilies can stay toget|er or be reunited, and ensure
that future Americans can immigrate through new and orderly pathways that support our economy and encourage
legal immigration.
IMMIGRANTS AND FAMILIES
About 5.5 million children in this country have at least one parent who is an illegal immigrant, according to an
estinate by t|e Pew Hispanic Center, and t|ey face constant fear of fanily separation.
nnigrants wit| fanily nenbers w|o nig|t sponsor t|en for green cards nay face a 15 to 2C year wait for t|ose
visas, being separated from their family for as long as a generation.
As of Novenber of 2C12, t|ere were a total of 4,3CC,CCC innigrants waiting in t|e backlog for fanilybased
immigrant visas.
There are more than 2.5 million siblings waiting for the 65,000 visas available each year
As of Novenber 2C12, t|ere were nore t|an 3CC,CCC wives, |usbands and ninor c|ildren of legal pernanent
residents waiting for immigrant visas.
IMMIGRANTS AND SAFE COMMUNITIES
Cur current broken systen undernines t|e trust and cooperation between police agencies and innigrant
communities that are essential to community-oriented policing.
Undocunented innigrants, and t|eir fanilies and friends wit| legal status, fear t|at contact wit| t|e police will lead
to deportation, so crimes in immigrant communities go unreported and victims and witnesses are afraid to testify.
Local law enforcenent resources are already scarce, to also enforce innigration laws signifcantly detracts fron
the core mission of local police to keep communities safe.
Cur broken innigration systen creates opportunities for t|e truly dangerous crininals to |ide in our nidst, and it
continues to encourage criminal enterprises that prey upon immigrants.
