US Govt. Report: Undocumented Immigrants Boost Economy

Based on an estimated increase of 1.7M immigrants per year from
2021-2026, a US Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report says the
country will see an increase of $1.7T in federal revenue from
2024-2034 and a $897B decrease to the federal deficit.

This figure is based on projections that through their participation
in the labor market, they will pay $788B in taxes, adding $387B in
federal revenue through their general effect on the economy

Regarding the children of immigrants who are born in America, the
report says their access to welfare will increase total federal
program expenditures and debt interest by $300B over the 10-year
period, resulting in an additional $23B in mandatory spending in
2034.[2]

Regarding the debt, the report states that while undocumented migrants
will lead to a debt reduction of $4B from 2024-2028, their presense in
the country will increase debt spending by $101B between 2024 and
2034.[1]

Their overall participation, however, is estimated to lead to an $8.9T
increase to the nation's gross domestic product (GDP) over the 10
years.[2]

Not counting undocumented workers, the U.S. has been "strengthened" by adding an average of 1,090,520 legal immigrants annually, which, when combined with the reports of the study, means that from 2000 to 2015, immigrants should have created 19.6 million new jobs for native workers in addition to supplying approximately 10.6 million new jobs themselves. (The latter must be the case due to the new jobs reportedly going to native workers and is a conservative estimate based on the EPR). This amounts to
a total of 30.2 million new jobs created by immigration since 2000.

Now let’s look at the numbers from 2000 to 2015. In January 2000, the working age population of the United States was 178,259,050 and the Employment-Population Ratio was 64.6, meaning there were 115,155,346 jobs. Therefore, according to the NBER model, the beneficial effects of immigration are such that after 15 more years of it there should be 145,355,346 jobs in 2015.

In March 2015 the working age population had grown by nearly 15 million to 204,026,416, which is in line with the 10.6 million new immigrant workers, but population grew to nearly 320 million and the EPR fell to 59.3.That works out to 120,987,665 jobs, which is a mere 24,367,681 fewer jobs than the NBER model predicted. From 2000 to 2015, 16.4 million new immigrants have created a grand total of 5,832,319 new jobs, which means that either
a) over 10 million native Americans have lost their jobs to immigrant
labor or b) over two-thirds of the new immigrants are collecting welfare. Either way, these 16.4 million immigrants have not been a boost to the economy.

Fact Check - The majority of recipients were white (43 percent),
followed by Hispanic (26 percent), and Black (23 percent). These
figures fall in line with population demographics and debunk the
misconception that welfare programs are predominantly associated with
the Black community.Feb 28, 2024 https://www.revolt.tv/article/are-black-people-the-majority-of-those-on-welfare

Overview of Immigrant Eligibility for Federal Programs
Updated May 2024

The major federal public benefits programs have long excluded some
non-U.S. citizens from eligibility for assistance. Programs such as
the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, formerly known as
the Food Stamp Program), nonemergency Medicaid, Supplemental Security
Income (SSI), and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and
its precursor, Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC), were
largely unavailable to undocumented immigrants and people in the
United States on temporary visas.

However, the 1996 federal welfare and immigration laws introduced an unprecedented era of restrictionism.[1] Prior to the enactment of
these laws, lawful permanent residents of the U.S. generally were
eligible for assistance in a manner similar to U.S. citizens. Once the
laws were implemented, most lawfully residing immigrants were barred
from receiving assistance under the major federal benefits programs
for five years or longer.
...
...
In determining an immigrant's eligibility for benefits, it is
necessary to understand the federal rules as well as the rules of the
state in which an immigrant resides. Updates on federal and state
rules are available on NILC's website.

Fact Check

So then it must be "over 10 million native Americans have lost their
jobs to immigrant labor".

https://www.nilc.org/issues/economic-support/overview-immeligfedprograms/

Which gives a whole list of immigrants who ARE "qualified" to receive
federal welfare. And that doesn't include state level programs.

I don't think "Native Americans" (aka Indians) have lost jobs.

There are a number of countries that are/have used "imported" labor.

Even Trump was using immigrant labor before he got exposed.

There are many retiring people, and there are jobs white boys don't
want.

What type of jobs do immigrant workers have?

In California, the jobs most frequently held by immigrants are
agricultural position. This is not surprising, as California is the
nation's leading agricultural producer. https://jgoldlaw.com/blog/immigrant-jobs-usa/

The indians live off nature. They hunt, forage and from time to time they supplement their income with casinos and raiding parties attacking white settlers nearby.

How long do immigrants stay on welfare?
The main rationale for the seven-year time limit was that it was
intended to provide a sufficient opportunity for humanitarian
immigrant seniors and those with disabilities to naturalize and retain
their eligibility for SSI as U.S. citizens.May 8, 2024


Most immigrants (94 percent in 1993 according to the Current
Population Survey, CPS) do not use "welfare" as conventionally defined
(to include Aid to Families with Dependent Children, AFDC,
Supplemental Security Income, SSI, or General Assistance, GA) https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/publication/70281/410345-Summary-of-Facts-About-Immigrants-Use-of-Welfare.pdf

Fact Sheet: Immigrants and Public Benefits

August 21, 2018

Are undocumented immigrants eligible for federal public benefit
programs?

Generally no. Undocumented immigrants, including DACA holders, are
ineligible to receive most federal public benefits, including
means-tested benefits such as Supplemental Nutrition Assistance
Program (SNAP, sometimes referred to as food stamps), regular
Medicaid, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), and Temporary Assistance
for Needy Families (TANF). Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for
health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and are
prohibited from purchasing unsubsidized health coverage on ACA
exchanges.

Undocumented immigrants may be eligible for a handful of benefits that
are deemed necessary to protect life or guarantee safety in dire
situations, such as emergency Medicaid, access to treatment in
hospital emergency rooms, or access to healthcare and nutrition
programs under the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC).

Are legal immigrants eligible for federal public benefit programs?

Only those with lawful permanent resident (LPR) status, but not until
they have resided as a legal resident for five years.


How much do legal immigrants use federal public benefit programs?

Legal immigrants use federal public benefit programs at lower rates
than U.S.-born citizens.

How much do immigrants contribute to support public benefits programs?

Both documented and undocumented immigrants pay more into public
benefit programs than they take out.
