Despite the rise of a negative narrative about migrants in the United States, largely due to the recent general elections, a study by the University of Utah reveals that this sector of the population is more willing to serve in the civil and military sectors than citizens born in the country.
"Immigrants' commitment to the U.S. may be much stronger than people think, and their appreciation for the values and opportunities that the U.S. offers are things they may feel willing to fight for, protect and defend," said Professor Christopher Simon, lead author of the study, which also includes Canada.
