Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.

Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)—nearly twice its 2023 level.

Immigrants generated nearly $10.6 trillion more in federal, state, and local taxes than they induced in total government spending.

Accounting for savings on interest payments on the national debt, immigrants saved $14.5 trillion in debt over this 30-year period.

Immigrants cut US budget deficits by about a third from 1994 to 2023, and fiscal savings grew to $878 billion in 2023 (Figure 1).

Noncitizens accounted for $6.3 trillion of the $14.5 trillion debt savings.

College graduate immigrants accounted for $11.7 trillion in savings, while non–college graduates accounted for $2.8 trillion.

The cohort of immigrants entering from 1990 to 1993, just before data collection began in 1994, was fiscally positive $1.7 trillion, and was still positive after 30 years in 2022–2023 (Table 1).

Even including the second generation (see Box 1 for definitions), who are mostly still children who will become taxpayers soon, the fiscal effect of immigration was positive every year.

Immigrants in all categories of educational attainment, including high school dropouts, lowered the ratio of deficit to gross domestic product (GDP) during the 30-year period.

Without the contributions of immigrants, public debt at all levels would already be above 200 percent of US GDP—nearly twice the 2023 level and a threshold some analysts believe would trigger a debt crisis.8

Jfc and that's just scratching the surface. It's like the study that said on avg immigrants commit less crime. When in fact they compared socioeconomic groups, so all immigrants were basically compared to a ghetto in Chicago.

libs lie

also, let's not count all the little welfare birthright children because

durr durr they're not immigrants!

also, let's only focus on households where everyone is an immigrant!

also, let's just blend in rich legal immigrants paying full tuition at all colleges as part of the calculus

libs have scum for brains

they try to argue that some illegals are filing fucking tax returns.

when confronted about this, they argue that they are paying sales tax and having withholdings that never benefit them taken from their salaries (I doubt many illegals are w2 employees but what do I know)

few things are more predictable than CATO publishing bullshit analysis in favor of open borders.

134 The percent of property values from immigration (the bottom row in Table A2) that has come from immigration was then multiplied by residential property tax revenue attributed to the US-born in the NASEM–Cato model. In this way, we estimate the property taxes paid by the US-born population that are the indirect result of immigration-generated higher property values. These revenues are added to immigrants’ property tax revenues

Also, I'm sure in this they are accounting for the fact that not only do their kids go to public school, they all get aides because they don't speak the language. But yeah, I'm sure somehow the math works out that a gardener making $13,000 a year pays enough in taxes to cover 3 full time aides for his kids at school.

This is all just such an obvious thought experiment. Take a wealthy suburban zip code with 10,0000 people and an average HHI of $450,000. Now add 10,000 illegal immigrants making $25,000 per household per year. I'm sure the level of services, and the cost of such services, stays exactly the same right?

even if illegal immigrants were a net benefit, the principled response would still be to deport every one of them.

of course they aren't, but it's a red herring

we are a country. we have a border. we have a legal means of entry and we have legal immigration.

What's the max IQ to actually believe this, and what % of smug shitlibs who completely buy into this are ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED that they are extremely intelligent?

(I'll bet that both of those figures would be hilarious.)
