Undocumented immigrants will boost economy, lower deficit, CBO says
The Hill ^ | 07/24/2024 | RAFAEL BERNAL

The growing undocumented immigrant population in the U.S. will lower the deficit by nearly a trillion dollars over the next decade, according to a study by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

CBO’s projections are based on the net sum of economic activity generated, taxes paid and benefits allotted to the immigrant groups included in the study.

The nonpartisan agency estimates a net population increase of 8.7 million such immigrants between 2021 and 2026, averaging an increase of 1.7 million people per year above the pre-2020 average annual net immigration of 200,000.

CBO based its projections on the economic effects that surge group of 8.7 million people is expected to have between 2024 and 2034.

Replacing makers with takers hasn’t worked anywhere on the planet for anyone other than Deep States.

Funny how immigrants never boost their own economy or make their own lands better.

The immediate response to this from the Trump campaign should be that the now Harris administration, for all intents and purposes, is advocating lawlessness as part of their economic plan and finally puts the rest their lie that they have had the most secure border in history when in fact they have opened it and are now claiming there are benefits to having it wide open.

Good to see the CBO believes in slavery and the “race to the bottom” as the Unions call it.

It might have actually been somewhat truthful if the government itself wasn’t coughing up endless entitlements to these illegal aliens.

The illegal aliens are one of the primary drivers of inflation of housing at this time, and inflation in general as the government continues to hand out cash to the illegals.

There is only one reason why any country imports humans. The reason is to increase the labor supply and lower overall wages. That is the only reason PERIOD.
