Accept Immigrants and Refugees

George Starodubstev

The United States has a long history of accepting immigrants and refugees, and it is important to continue this tradition. First of all, immigrants bring unique skills, experiences and perspectives which enrich the workforce, bring innovation, and increase economic growth. Immigrants help balance the demographic scales, more young people are immigrated. Also, accepting immigrants and refugees upholds the principles of human rights, dignity and freedom and demonstrates compassion and empathy. Furthermore, immigration enriches American culture, introducing new customs, traditions and perspectives which increase social cohesion and community engagement. For all these reasons, continuing to accept immigrants and refugees is vital for the country’s economic growth, humanitarian obligation and cultural diversity.
