| Gov't Report: Federal Agencies Profit from Refugees, but State and Local Govt's Lose |
| 2024-02-25 |
| [Breitbart] The federal government won an 8.7 percent profit of $37.5 billion from the resident population of 2.9 million refugees and asylum seekers in the 15 years before 2020, says a celebratory report by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The report also notes that the imported refugees also inflicted a 7.3 percent loss of $21.4 billion on the taxpayers who fund state and local governments. The report calculated the costs by comparing the $739 billion in taxes paid by migrants and their families to their $723.4 billion in government aid. The claimed razor-thin profit of 2.1 percent was enabled by the report’s exclusion of many other costs paid by taxpayers. The excluded costs include the migration damage to Americans’ wages, housing costs, civic stability, and economic productivity, according to the report titled “The Fiscal Impact of Refugees and Asylees at the Federal, State, and Local Levels from 2005 to 2019.” The report also excluded some welfare programs, ancillary costs, and future huge costs of the migration — such as Medicare and Social Security. The report also hid useful information about the most expensive and least expensive categories of migrants, and it also hid regional gains and losses caused by the extra taxes and spending. |

| #1 On the other hand - Since at least 1990, the federal government has relied on Extraction Migration to grow the economy after allowing investors to move the high-wage manufacturing sector to lower-wage countries. The migration policy extracts vast amounts of human resources from needy countries. The additional workers, consumers, and renters push up stock values by shrinking Americans’ wages, subsidizing low-productivity companies, boosting rents, and spiking real estate prices. The economic policy has pushed many native-born Americans out of careers in a wide variety of business sectors, reduced native-born Americans’ productivity and political clout, reduced high-tech innovation, crippled civic solidarity, and allowed government officials and progressives to ignore the rising death rate of discarded Americans. That's Breitbart's summary conclusion, not the self-serving government report. |
