Date: February 4th, 2026 12:59 PM Author: Aren't you a middle-aged man? For each year from 1994 to 2023, the US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government. 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. https://www.cato.org/white-paper/immigrants-recent-effects-government-budgets-1994-2023 |

Date: February 4th, 2026 1:20 PM Author: Aren't you a middle-aged man? Every year from 1994 to 2023, immigrants have paid more in taxes than they received in benefits. 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 |

Date: February 4th, 2026 1:11 PM Author: gibberish (?) Therefore, as long as government expenditures and receipts for immigrants were not significantly different from the average person, that person must also have been fiscally positive.
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. |
