Immigrants have saved the United States fourteen and a half trillion dollars in debt over three

Immigrants have saved the United States fourteen and a half trillion dollars in debt over three decades, and the government trying to deport them does not want you to know that. 🚨 A recent article from the Cato Institute explains that a major study found immigrants reduced the national debt by nearly a third between 1994 and 2023. Without immigrants, federal debt would already exceed 200% of GDP, enough to trigger a crisis. The administration claims every new immigrant creates costs for taxpayers, but the data shows the opposite. Immigrants pay more in taxes because their employment rate is twelve percentage points higher than people born in the country. Federal law also bars many non-citizens from receiving welfare. Immigrants receive about the same in needs-based assistance as others, but thirty-four percent less in retirement benefits, not because they are younger, but because their legal status prevents them from qualifying even after years of contributing. They are also less likely to be incarcerated, which saves additional public costs. One of the biggest savings comes from education. The average immigrant arrives around twenty-five years old, educated and ready to work, meaning the country gains a trained worker without paying for that education. 📄 Next time someone claims immigrants drain this country, remember this: thirty years of data shows the people being targeted are also helping keep the economy afloat. They want you to feel like you do not belong here, but the numbers say otherwise. You did not come here to take from this country, and decades of data show that you never did. ⚖️
