Immigrants in Georgia

 

 

THE ECONOMIC POWER OF IMMIGRANTS

 

Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians account for growing shares of the economy

and electorate in Georgia. Nearly 1 in 10 Georgians are immigrants
(foreign-born), and more than one-third of them are naturalized U.S.
citizens who are eligible to vote. “New Americans”—immigrants and the
children of immigrants—account for 7.4% of registered voters in the state.
Immigrants are not only integral to the state’s economy as workers,
but also account for billions of dollars in tax revenue and consumer
purchasing power. Moreover, Latinos and Asians (both foreign-born and
native-born) wield $31.7 billion in consumer purchasing power, and the
businesses they own had sales and receipts of $20.6 billion and employed
nearly 110,000 people at last count. As the economy continues to grow,
Georgia can ill-afford to alienate such a critical component of its labor
force, tax base, and business community.

 

Immigrants in South Carolina

 

Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians account for large and growing shares of

the economy and population in the state of South Carolina. Immigrants
(the foreign-born) make up 4.8% of the state’s population and over
one-third of immigrants in South Carolina are naturalized U.S. citizens
who are eligible to vote. “New Americans”—immigrants and the children of
immigrants—account for 4.5% of all registered voters in the state.
Latinos and Asians (both foreign-born and native-born) wield $8 billion
in consumer purchasing power. At last count, businesses owned by Latinos
and Asians had sales and receipts of $4.6 billion and employed more than
29,000 people. At a time when the economy is still recovering, South
Carolina can ill-afford to alienate such a critical component of its labor
force, tax base, and business community



EB5 - VISA

Congress created the EB-5 Program in 1990 to stimulate the U.S. economy through job creation and capital investment by foreign investors. In 1992, Congress created the Immigrant Investor Program, also known as the Regional Center Program. This sets aside EB-5 visas for participants who invest in commercial enterprises associated with regional centers approved by USCIS based on proposals for promoting economic growth.

Warning

CENTRAL AMERICAN GOVERNMENTS WARN IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S. TO LOCK
THEIR DOORS TO STRANGERS WITHOUT WARRANTS

The governments of El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua
are warning Central American immigrants living in the United States
to use their peepholes and not open their doors to unknown solicitors
or even friendly looking government agents without a warrant.

“Don’t be fooled. Don’t open the door to unknown people who say they are
looking for someone else. Immigration agents have to show an order signed
by a judge to enter your house. If they don’t have one, you’re not obliged
to open your door,” assistance provided by LEGiTiGO
