Mayor Michael Bloomberg wasn't as diplomatic as he might have been when he asserted on "Meet the Press" that immigrants should be invited to the United States — as long as they settle in Detroit. But he was animated by a core truth: immigrants drive economic growth.
Our leaders should act on this prescription for job-creation and urban vitality.
Many recoil at the suggestion that Michigan should welcome immigrants. The myths are legion: immigrants do not learn English; they compete for jobs and depress wages; they monopolize resources that fund social safety nets.
These deceits don't withstand scrutiny. Each year I interview local high school seniors who apply to Harvard College. These are kids perched atop their classes; they're dreamers whose ambitions will propel us to new heights. Many of these students are new citizens or first-generation Americans whose families, grasping opportunities this country offers, emigrated from India, China and elsewhere.
Empirical studies also disprove the notion that immigrants drag us down rather than elevate us. A 2007 Fiscal Policy Institute report found that, in New York City, immigrants settle in clusters and start new businesses; they revitalize neighborhoods; they join the middle class.
In a separate study, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York determined that the state's "robust immigration is very important to sustain population growth and neighborhood vitality."
In 1975, New York City was a laughingstock teetering on the brink of bankruptcy.Now, it's an economic marvel whose income levels and employment rates eclipse national averages.
New Yorkers can thank immigrants for this good fortune. Immigrants account for nearly all of the city's sizeable population growth since 1980. They have populated and gentrified previously dilapidated neighborhoods. Thirty-seven percent of New York City's population was born in another country.
Immigrants are productive; they earn 37 percent of resident wages, money used to buy homes and spur the economy.
Given the depths of Detroit's economic problems, there is no legitimate reason to not adopt policies that attract immigrants.
American history has proven, again and again, that immigrants inject the country with dynamism and hope. In Michigan, immigrants helped propel the state's growth during the first half of the 20th century.
Areas that do not attract immigrants often whither.
