Comptroller DiNapoli’s statement on new immigration ban
ALBANY – Yesterday, March 6, New York State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli released a statement in response to President Donald Trump's most recent Executive Order on immigration.
“[Monday's] Executive Order still cuts at who we are as Americans and New Yorkers,” DiNapoli said. “Immigrants are important to the fabric of our communities and the state's economy. Policies that target nationalities, ethnicities, or religions are not just un-American, but detrimental to the economy. As my recent reports have shown, our rich diversity of cultures and experiences strengthens New York on a daily basis.”
In ratifying his statement, DiNapoli pointed to a report published last year on New York's immigrant population, which reported that immigrants comprise 22 percent–or 4.4 million–of the state's population, which is above the national average of 13 percent. In another report, DiNapoli found immigrants accounted for $257 billion of New York City's economic activity in 2013.
