There will be an initial cost. Shuttered schools will need to be renovated. Local services may be burdened at first. But in addition to providing labor, immigrants can also help older residents left behind in these places who need help with tasks such as cooking and shopping. [Emphasis added]
Immigration will increase local demand and tax revenue. Many people will start small businesses. Initial support, perhaps through state funds or immigrant savings, could help build a future in places that today seem impossible. “For the region, that might not be a bad bet,” said Enrico Moretti of the University of California.
