Hispanic Americans send nearly $60B to their relatives in Mexico and this concerted effort is commendable.

Other ethnic immigrants should consider doing the same.

"immigrants, even though they comprised 40.6% of the population. "

This is pretty exciting to me!

It would be nice to know how many of these immigrants were legal vs illegal immigrants.

Billions of dollars into the economy of the rich and literally pennies in return investment. Even Calif called out as “charity” from PACC dais. Institute 2000 home for put most weary & fore lorn.

SCCounty has turned its back for decades on the sweat equity of a “migrant” workforce, hoping the language barrier will shield the responsibility of housing, food, fuel and other necessities essential to human sustainable living.

We’ll “take care of the rest”. Phooey . Like Nina Simone sings,
Ty “we are all going to die, and die like flies”. Unless u can afford an electric heat pump jump from council, Pat Burt.

It’s an economic and SOCIAl solution. Forget your SFHome remodel, second/third home purchase, vacation home elsewhere or a Tesla commute.,

Get busy, get going, get involved and active. We can solve our tri-fecta of human driven disparities together . SFHo unite.

Note:

Tents visible are really our underbelly of truth. Calif is in ruin. The 9th circuit v Boise is protection for our very democracy: house, to serve, protect our residents of local ill prepared civic endorsements.

And in contrary. The Gov, then Prez, institutionalized , cemented Reaganonics — 50 years ago, is on us now.

A true Back to the Future economy prevails. I personally have never felt so trapped. There is no wiggle room to salvation. The weight of bombs for Non NATO Ukraini is killing the last vestiges of any American dream that once existed. Retire l, “retires” to our Pacific Coast? Very few.

This is good news. But as an earlier commenter stated, it would be good to know if this is referring only to legal immigrants. Undocumented immigrants are, from my experience, very hard working, too, but this report doesn’t explain whether they are included in these statistics.

I believe immigrants in this report refers to people living here who report themselves as foreign born. This foreign born count does not distinguish how the residents arrived here. And how they arrived here does not affect the results of the study about the impact of immigrants in our local economy.

If you are here illegally or legally and were born elsewhere. It just seems to me, this is the way it should be. Not to congratulate those who have crossed legally or illegally. They want what we have. America and it is ours. They should pay. Stop shaming the Americans who are here. You don't see this in any other democracy that exist. Why do we always have to be the "Unicorn" of decency?

I recently retired from a construction company. For decades we have had workers with fake social security numbers. Many of them managed to solve the problem of becoming legal residents. My point is that whether they were undocumented or not, their taxes were paid to the U.S. and to the State of California. A lot of those social security dollars paid in will never be credited to them when they are old. Visit any kind of construction site and you will hear lots and lots of Spanish.

" A lot of those social security dollars paid in will never be credited to them when they are old."

Don't come here illegally and don't use fake social security numbers. And quit hiring workers who are here illegally. It's against the law. Problem solved.

With the exception of Native Americans, we're a nation of immigrants. But most of us came here legally. And that's the way it should be. Dreamers can "dream on." Great song!
