New American Economy logo

New American Economy is a bipartisan research and advocacy organization fighting for smart federal, state, and local immigration policies that help grow our economy and create jobs for all Americans.

We make the economic case for immigration in four ways:

• We use powerful research to demonstrate how immigration impacts our economy.

• We organize champions at the grassroots and influencer levels to build support for immigration.

• We partner with state and local leaders to advocate for policies that recognize the value immigrants add locally.

• We show immigrant contributions to American culture through film, food, art, sports, comedy, and more.
