workers – tended to be those that prospered the most. 9 Myth: Immigrants come to the United States to get welfare. Fact: Many documented immigrants are prohibited from receiving most federal government benefits for five years after they arrive in the United States. They work and pay taxes, but do not receive benefits. Undocumented immigrants can receive emergency medical care and schooling for children but cannot receive welfare, food stamps or Social Security. 10 Myth: Immigrants send all their money back to their home countries. Fact: While many immigrants do send money back to their families in other countries, they contribute to the U.S. economy in other ways. Through consumer spending and entrepreneurship, immigrants contribute $162 billion in tax revenue to federal, state and local governments. 11 Myth: Immigrants don’t want to learn English or become citizens . Fact: 55% - 69% of immigrants who live in the United States already speak “good” to “excellent” English. 12 Many adult immigrants want to become proficient in English, but despite a significant increase in demand for English classes, funding has repeatedly been cut for English as a Second Language (ESL) programs. As a result, there are wait lists of one to three years for adult ESL classes in most cities. 13 In addition, in 2009, the U.S. government declined 1,046,539 applications for naturalization. 14 This shows not only the desire of immigrants to become citizens but also the challenges they face in achieving citizenship. Myth: Most immigrants are here illegally. Fact: Out of roughly 31 million foreign-born residents in the United States, 66% are living in the country with lawful immigration status. The remaining 34% are undocumented. 15 An estimated 40% of people who live in the United States without lawful status entered the United States legally but had overstayed their periods of authorized stay. 16 Myth : Immigrants are uneducated. Fact: Nearly one-third (30.6%) of all employed recent immigrants had a bachelor’s degree or more education in 2008. 17 More than 1.3 million (1 in 5) college-educated immigrants living in the United States are unemployed or are underemployed in positions such as taxi drivers, dishwashers and security guards. Many educated immigrants are unable to make full use of their academic and professional credentials, but must pursue expensive and lengthy recertification 9 Julia Preston, “Workforce Fueled by Highly Skilled Immigrants,” New York Times , April 15, 2010 http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/16/us/16skilled.html (accessed April 27, 2010). 10 “Separating Fact from Fiction: Refugees, Immigrants and Public Benefits,” Immigration Fact Check (Immigration Policy Center of the American Immigration Law Foundation, September 8, 2008), http://www.immigrationpolicy.org/sites/default/files/docs/RefugeesImmigrantsandPublicBenefits9-8-08.pdf (accessed April 26, 2010). 11 AILA InfoNet Doc.
