Great news! But not mentioned-- #immigrants are making MI stronger. Without them, MI would have lost population in 2025, same as in 2020, 2010 or 2000.  #RealTruth is that we couldn't have done this without being a welcoming state for immigrants. michigan.gov/whitmer/news/p…

Vibrant communities start with welcoming everyone at the table. Immigrants bring the culture, innovation, and drive that shape stronger cities and economies. As Nelson Mandela said, “Cultural diversity is not a threat…” — it’s our future.

Michigan’s small and micro-business communities are powered by dreamers and innovators, many of them immigrants building opportunity for themselves and their neighbors. #SmallBusinessSaturday #GlobalDetroit #SupportSmallBusiness #InclusiveEconomies #VibrantCommunities
