Immigrants make an area more prosperous

A new study has found that immigrants help the prosperity of areas where they live.  I have seen this first hand in the boost immigration has given to some neighborhoods in Syracuse NY and Utica NY.   But they would not be surprised at the results of the study if they had read the words of the wise man recorded in Proverbs.  “A large population is a king’s glory, but without subjects a prince is ruined” (Proverbs 14:28 NIV 2011).
