RE:”Immigrants increase gross domestic product growth. Immigration expands the American workforce and encourages more business startups. In 2013 the labor-force participation of foreign-born workers was higher than native-born workers (66.4% vs. 62.7%). Their unemployment rate was lower (6.9%, compared with 7.5% for native-born Americans). If people want to come and work, that adds to our economy.”

Saying that immigrants want a job more than US born Americans do.

Simple. First off the author says immigrant, not legal or illegal. These are people, either categorey, with another nation to go home to. How could they not have better participation rates? An out of work American stays in country.
I’m also not entirely sure if the number includes guest workers which in thweory should have 100% participation.
Any way i look at this i would think the spread between immigrant ansd native participation rates should be even larger.
