4 myths about how immigrants affect the U.S. economyMap: Illegal immigration costs California most, $23B, all states $89BLol um okay then state it if it is so obvious.Let’s say we miraculously did that. Then what? How would that better the country? Be specific.You’re a moron if you think illegal immigration can be eliminated completely. It’s been declining for over a decade. It’s not some crisis just because it still happens and Trump told you to shit your pants over it.
Not looking for it to be eliminated completely dumbass, I'd be fine with cutting it by 80%.
You've got to be kidding, you can't figure that one out?
“Myth #1: Immigrants take more from the U.S. government than they contribute
Fact: Immigrants contribute more in tax revenue than they take in government benefits
A 2017 report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine found immigration "has an overall positive impact on the long-run economic growth in the U.S."
How that breaks down is important.
First-generation immigrants cost the government more than native-born Americans, according to the report — about $1,600 per person annually. But second generation immigrants are "among the strongest fiscal and economic contributors in the U.S.," the report found. They contribute about $1,700 per person per year. All other native-born Americans, including third generation immigrants, contribute $1,300 per year on average.”
