Why does the government help immigrants when they move here instead of helping the poor who have been here since birth?
<|assistant|>
The government helps immigrants because they provide important economic and social contributions to the country. Immigrants fill labor shortages, start businesses, create tax revenue, and enrich the culture. In addition, immigration often helps reverse population aging and provides needed support for public programs. The government supports immigrants because it recognizes the importance of helping newcomers adapt and become an active part of their new community. At the same time, the government also prioritizes assisting individuals and families that have been living in the country for a long time.
