Your propaganda “facts” state immigrants. Can you provide us the facts that include illegals in the numbers?

Half truths aren’t truths.


Indeed.

The initial report was done by the National Academy of Sciences.. in 2018 which the Cato institute then updated through 2024.

From the report.. immigrants contributed $24.2 TRILLION in taxes.. Noncitizens.. or Illegals paid $10.8 TRILLION in taxes.. while only using $6.2.. a net SAVINGS of $4.6 TRILLION to our FEDERAL DEBT over the past 30 years.. 

in other words.. Illegal migrants paid enough in taxes to fund the entire US military at $875 million per year.. for 5+ years over the past 30 years.. by themselves!  So every 6th year.. they 100% pay for YOU.

why?

because more of them WORK.. thus even at a LOWER WAGE.. since nearly 55% work.. vs the rest of us at.. 35% ish.. They contribute a significant amount.

the study does not allocate “basic government functions” like the military.. or NASA to their contributions because.. those expenses WOULD NOT CHANGE whether they were here or not..

similar to a 10,000 acre farmer adding another 5,000 acres but doing it with the same equipment and crew.. only harder.

from the study.

”the contribution from immigrants (including non citizens) has already contributed to avoiding a similar meltdown like 2008.” Paraphrasing.

illegal migrants ARE NOT costing you tax $$$ they are paying their share as well as PART OF YOURS!!

read.. the report.

National Academy of Sciences.. the smart people.. around 190 Nobel laureates.. whom NASA goes to with their problems.

updated by the Cato Institute.. aka the Koch brothers.

Note.. since the immigrants (including illegals) WORKED during Covid.. they lowered our nation’s deficit by ALMOST $10 Trillion over two years.
