1. Because increased immigration brings with it an enrichment of culture, tourism would grow nationally.
2. GDP would rise, the Federal Deficit would be reduced – LULAC estimates – by $850 million over the next 20 years.
You can read more about it on the LULAC site here.
Of keen interest to all of us in NE Ohio would be their report on how the reforms (using the Senate Bill as a model) would affect the State of Ohio.

Me? I always like the original source. Who came up with these stats, anyway? Regional Economics Models, Inc., that’s who. They are headquartered in Massachusetts and have other interesting things on their site like webinars. They also do economic modeling for other issues.
The idea that Congress is going to deal with immigration reform and put more sensible laws in place before December of 2013 is nice but probably not happening. I guess we could all be pleasantly surprised…
