The Myth That Won't Die

What if everything you believed about immigration was backwards? Most of us have absorbed a simple story: immigrants take jobs, drain public resources, and threaten community safety. It's a narrative so embedded in our politics that it shapes laws, elections, and dinner table debates. Yet after nearly twenty-five years of research, the data reveals something startling-this story is almost entirely fiction. Immigration isn't a burden on prosperity; it's the engine that drives it. From investment and innovation to fiscal health and community safety, immigrants contribute positively to virtually everything that makes societies thrive. Idaho made headlines recently with anti-immigrant fury. Residents complained about skyrocketing housing prices (up 19.3% in one year), overcrowded schools, traffic jams, and job competition. Mayoral candidates promised to build a $26 billion wall to "stop the invasion." The twist? These "immigrants" weren't from Mexico or India-they were Californians. This domestic migration reveals something profound: the anxieties we attribute to immigration aren't really about borders or legal status. They're about change itself, about communities transforming faster than we can adjust our mental maps. The real question isn't whether immigration helps or hurts-it's why we keep believing the opposite despite overwhelming evidence.
