Although the St. Louis region’s population growth has leveled off over the past decade, there has been a modest increase in the area’s immigrant population. Demographers say this increase is a small but helpful contribution to the economic vibrancy of the region.

We often forget that immigrants are more than a burden. They provide new blood, new workers and economic benefit

Good morning Tha t is true , I see wall mart is hiring the m and it is against he law. American workers are again being push aside for low cost workers. Many work for $%. per hour and americas min wage in now $25. per hour so who will you choose. the $%. per hour worker or the $25 worker. In today economy you almost can't afford to hire American. Most thing they a a lot better that they are. I tried to hire someone to work on my motorhome and he charges $100. per hour. I can't afford that so I'm selling my Motor home. fro less than I have in it because I can't afford to repair it.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel “Even though our immigrant population is relatively small — compared to Chicago, Miami or New York — the region is still benefiting from the economic power of this group,” he said. “Imagine what that economic power would be like if the immigrant population was three times as large.”
