Immigrant nation

“Just like my country, I’m young, scrappy and hungry and I’m not throwin’ away my shot…”  -Hamilton

It’s Hamilton season in Sacramento and the musical has our city buzzing. The lyrical production portraying how settlers founded our nation highlights an undeniable truth; we have always relied on immigrants to move our country forward. 

Study after study documents that immigrants work at higher rates and make up more than a third of the workforce in some U.S. industries. Their mobility helps local economies meet worker shortages. Immigrant workers help support aging native-born populations by paying into Social Security and Medicare trust funds. Finally, children of immigrants are upwardly mobile, promising future contributions to their families and to the U.S. economy overall.

As a fan of both Hamilton and Immigrants, I am inspired by their work ethic, family values, and significant sacrifices throughout our nations history.  Borrego Law is proud of our decades of work on behalf of the immigrant community.
