dubbed The New York Times’ “Team Globalization and Free Trade Cheers’ Locker Room” — Democratic Party Report released last week by JEC Chairman martin heinrich (DN.M.) claimed that deporting 8.3 million illegal immigrants would reduce GDP by 7.4% and employment by 7.0% by 2028.

proposed It was announced earlier this year that companies unable to draw from the illegal foreign labor pool would invest less in establishing new businesses and invest capital in industries that are less dependent on low-skilled labor.

In addition to relying on speculation from globalist organizations, Heinrich and his fellow travelers also relied on October observations.
report American Immigration Council — From an activist organization committed Expanding immigration to the United States, which frequently parrots the talking points of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The AIC fueled concerns that deportations could cause “significant labor shocks across multiple key industries”.
Clearly internalizing the assumptions of the Peterson Institute and AIC, arguing that “immigrants do not take jobs away from U.S.-born workers or lower wages for workers with similar skills,” Senate Democrats “Mass deportations would reduce economic growth,” the report said. , risks shrinking the workforce, eliminating jobs for U.S.-born workers, raising costs for nearly all Americans, and sparking inflation. ”
The report neglected to mention the economic burden that illegal aliens place on U.S. taxpayers and national services.
“We estimate that Americans pay $182 billion in total expenditures due to illegal immigration.”

reported A study last year found that the net cost of illegal immigration in the United States was at least $150.7 billion as of early 2023.

Julie Kirchner, FAIR Executive Director, said: testified He told Congress in May that the $150.7 billion figure was a “conservative figure” representing the net cost.
“It is estimated that Americans pay $182 billion in total expenditures due to illegal immigration. Approximately $31 billion is received in taxes from illegal aliens, accounting for 17% of the costs generated by illegal aliens. “It's not too much,” Kirchner said. “There are several factors contributing to the financial burden of illegal immigrants. First, illegal immigrants usually have low incomes, so those who pay taxes actually pay less. Second, illegal immigrants It costs taxpayers a lot of money every day.Additionally, police and kindergartens. Public services, such as high school education and emergency services, are widely available and, intentionally or unintentionally, lax eligibility standards allow many undocumented immigrants to receive federal, state, and local benefits. . They have no legal status.”
The AIC report, cited by Senate Democrats, said it would take “more than a decade to apprehend, detain, process, and remove all 13.3 million targeted immigrants, and hundreds to thousands of new immigrants.” “Detention facilities will need to be built – even assuming 20 percent of migrants are detained.” If citizens were to leave the country voluntarily during a multi-year mass deportation effort, the total cost over 10.6 years would be $967.9 (assuming an annual inflation rate of 2.5 percent).
