Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians are an integral part of Maine's economy and tax base

• Immigrants make up 3.4% of Maine's total population.
   
• More than 50% of immigrants in Maine have become naturalized U.S. Citizens who are eligible to vote.   
  
  
• The purchasing power of Maine's Latinos totaled $363 billion and Asians totaled $303 million in 2008.
  
  
• In the next two decades, Maine's ratio of seniors to working-age adults will increase by 93%, "making businesses hard pressed to find replacements" which could stunt economic growth in the state.
  
  
• If all unauthorized immigrants were removed from Maine, the state would lose $137 million in expenditures, $60.9 million in economic output and approximately 1,080 jobs.
  

There is no denying the contributions immigrants, Latinos, and Asians make and the important role they play in Maine's political and economic future. For more data on their contributions to Maine's economic future, view the IPC fact sheet in its entirety.
