The importance of a long term perspective on immigrants is underscored in the data below that shows the growth of Asian and Latino buying power from 2006 to 2030 in 85 House and 44 Senate districts of the Minnesota Legislature. In all cases the growth of Asian and Latino buying power is greater than the GDP of countries in the world. Research has well established that in the long run immigrants yield a net benefit to society. Minnesota's challenge is to view immigrant policy with a long term perspective. Legislators in the following districts could take the lead in developing a long term comprehensive immigrant policy in Minnesota.
