flag Immigrants reduced the U.S. budget deficit by $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023 by paying more in taxes than they received in benefits.

flag Immigrants reduced the U.S. budget deficit by nearly $14.5 trillion from 1994 to 2023, according to a Cato Institute study, by paying more in taxes than they receive in benefits. flag They have a 12-percentage-point higher employment rate than U.S.-born citizens, use fewer welfare and retiree benefits due to legal restrictions, and arrive with completed education, contributing fully trained workers to the economy. flag The data contradict claims that immigrants are a fiscal burden, showing they strengthen long-term fiscal health and support a bipartisan proposal allowing non-criminal immigrants to stay, work, and pay taxes with limited benefits.
