--- title: New Americans in Pine Tree State description: Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians are an Economic Powerhouse in Maine --- [ info@pollakimmigration.com](mailto:info@pollakimmigration.com)[ 954-250-8335](tel:954-250-8335) [BOOK YOUR MEETING ](https://www.pollakimmigration.com/contact-us/) # New Americans in Pine Tree State Posted by [ Michael Pollak ](https://www.pollakimmigration.com/blog/author/michael-pollak) October 1, 2009 Washington D.C. - The Immigration Policy Center has compiled research which shows that immigrants, Latinos, and Asians are an integral part of Maine's economy and tax base. As workers, taxpayers, consumers, and entrepreneurs, immigrants and their children are an economic powerhouse. As the state's population ages, immigrants and their children will play a key role in shaping the economic and political landscape of the Pine Tree State.   Highlights from Maine include: - 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.
