Leadership Profile of Peter Gonzalez, President & CEO of Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians
Abstract
Immigrants to the U.S. bring an abundance of global perspective, mind-opening cultural contributions, and a lot of money. According to a 2014 report by New American Economy, immigrants contributed $105 billion in state and local taxes and almost $224 billion in federal taxes with nearly $927 billion in spending power. The immigration landscape in the U.S. of late has reduced the entry of immigrants and refugees and has promoted a rhetoric that portrays this population as a threat. In the Philadelphia area, the Welcoming Center for New Pennsylvanians has challenged that negativity, empowered immigrants, and strengthened the economy with a mission of inclusive economic growth through immigrant integration.
