Immigrants are carrying this country on their backs while the right screams into the void.

Here’s the Cato Institute report:

Cato Study: Immigrants Reduced Deficits by $14.5 Trillion Since 1994
The best way to balance the budget is to reduce spending—particularly on wealthy retirees—but rather than hinder our efforts to control deficits, immigrants are helping.

Immigrants:
📌Pay more in taxes and take fewer benefits
📌Work more, earn more than the average native-born worker
📌Cost less in retirement, they do not drain Social Security for decades
📌Barely touch welfare, there is no free ride

Undocumented immigrants alone saved $1.7 trillion.
