Since his inauguration on January 20, the president has signed an executive order to bar entry of immigrants from seven Muslim-majority countries for 90 days. That followed an executive order signed on January 25 to begin the construction of a concrete wall along the US southern border with Mexico.
While many of the president's supporters view his actions as a fulfillment of his campaign promises, some are concerned about the economic ramifications of a decline in immigration and a spike in deportation.
In light of these developments, WalletHub, the personal finance website, has released a report that shows certain states benefit from "foreign born populations" more than others.
"We determined which states benefit the most - and the least - from immigration using 18 key indicators, ranging from median household income of foreign-born population" to "jobs generated by immigrant-owned businesses as a share of total jobs," they said.
Based on their analysis, these states benefit the most from immigrants:
