Bottom line We find that, although post-1990 immigration added almost 43 million people to the country, it had a minimal impact on the share of the population who are of working age. This is because it added to both the working-age population and to those outside of the working-age population in nearly equal proportions.
Also, this report says the post 1990 immigrants and their offspring use welfare of any kind at a rate far exceeding the native population 45 to 26 percent.
So lets put the hoary canard that they are net economic contributors to bed once and for all.
Whats really infuriating about the LIE that we need immigrants to keep the economic engine running is that our GOVERNMENT and its overbearing weight on our lives is the major reason many productive native Americans do not have more children. It simply is unaffordable.
