On October 29, 2013, the Bipartisan Policy Center (BPC) released “Immigration Reform: Implications for Growth, Budget and Housing,”* a policy report highlighting the potential impact of immigration reform on economic revitalization. Specifically, the BPC’s assessment indicates that immigration reform could significantly increase the number of young, working-age people in the U.S., leading to greater economic growth, reduced federal deficits, and a more robust housing sector. In addition, the analysis, which is joined by former governors and Cabinet secretaries, underscores the economic danger of preventing unauthorized immigration without allocating replacement labor, as well as the important role of Congress in shaping how immigration reform impacts economic prosperity.
