Stephanie Rawlings-Blake to push for immigration reform

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on Wednesday is expected to push for immigration reform and highlight a new report focused on the economic impact Maryland immigrants have on the state.

The report, compiled by the Partnership for a New American Economy, shows immigrant-owned businesses in Maryland generated $1.8 billion in income in 2014, and 26 percent on all entrepreneurs in the state are immigrants. Further, the report says, immigrants make up 19 percent of Maryland's workforce. Maryland immigrants earned $33.7 billion in 2014, with $3.1 billion going to state and local taxes.

The call for immigration reform comes as a larger debate on the issue continues to take shape across the country, especially in the current presidential race. The Partnership for a New American Economy is releasing reports on immigration for all 50 states and Washington, D.C., as part of its Reason for Reform campaign.

  1. Why don't the Democrats realize that immigration especially illegal immigration suppresses wages of the middle class as well as entry level wage earners. Surprisingly the people most hurt by illegal immigration keep voting Democrat.

  2. Hogan should have indicted her but I'm not sure About Hogan anymore beginning to think he is a democrat.

  3. The data is furnished by a government agency, so the likelihood of its accuracy should be suspect.

  6. 7:54 Governor Hogan can't indict anyone; he is not the Attorney General or a State's Attorney. The mayor would need to be indicted by that sharpest of legal minds, Baltimore's own Marilyn Mosby. The sun will be reduced to giving off the light of a birthday candle first; ain't gonna happen.

    Now to the post: Her Dishonor shows her total lack of understanding by babbling these 'facts'. The majority of the businesses, and the type of businesses, could have, and once were owned and operated by many black people. Not all, of course. So the immigrants are filling a vacuum caused by the Great Society and other Democrat social engineering.

    The more she celebrates the rise of the immigrants the more she and her Socialist Democrat pals crush the windpipes of the black citizens.

    D for Dummy!

  9. What is more disconcerting is this woman was an utter embarrassment at the DNC convention. Not once did she smile or seem happy to be there. Atrocious display and representative of Maryland. Actually surprised Hogan wasn't there. He could gavel them in. ☕️🚬

  10. Hogan's a R.I.N.O. If reelected, he might start acting like a Republican, but not until after reelection.

  11. Another stupid loud mouth in Baltimore along with her friend Marilyn Mosby.

  12. Friends no more. As shocking as it is 6:07 Mosby did something no one else has ever been able to do, made SRB look stateswoman like. Following Mosby's after the fact alibi and fury filled press conference last week, SRB hit back calling Mosby out for not being truthful.

  13. This woman is by far a POS. Pushing for all of these illegal immigrants is crazy. Hillary Clinton already wants to raise taxes by 1 trillion dollars. Where do you think that will leave the middle class???

  14. She is already complaining there are not enough jobs in Baltimore. Now you want to bring in more people? Where will they work? Will they take jobs from the current Baltimore residents?
