Immigrants are gaining on U.S.-born residents in homeownership, a positive development that’s likely enhancing their contribution to the economy, a Trulia study shows.
“When it comes to achieving the American dream, (immigrants) look very similar to native-born Americans,” says Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist of Trulia, a real estate research firm.
Immigration has played a central role in the presidential campaign, with Republican Donald Trump calling for tighter constraints and the deportation of millions of undocumented immigrants.
