Immigrants have a lower unemployment rate 4.3% than native-born U.S. citizens 4.9%. They also participate more in the economy, meaning they're either working or looking for work

Immigrants in America work more, search for jobs more and get paid way less than native-born U.S. citizens.

They're a big solid layer of the U.S. job market. Documented and undocumented immigrants make up nearly 20% of America's labor force.

But they make far less than native-born citizens. Immigrant’s weekly income is about $681. Native-born Americans earn $837 a week.

Immigration is a major factor in the economy's ability to grow more jobs.

Increasing the U.S. population is one key factor to creating more jobs and immigrants play a major role. According to the Pew Research Center, immigrants have made up 40 to 50% of the population gains in recent years.

However, the future of immigration is up in the air because of the U.S. elections in November.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has put immigration center stage on the campaign trail, claiming he would build a wall along the border with Mexico and deport all 11 million undocumented workers.

The estimation is about 77% of the potential job gains under Hillary Clinton's economic plan would come from immigration reform. Clinton has called for a pathway to citizenship for undocumented workers and visas for high-skilled foreign workers.
