#1 How much does the state spend on physical and social infrastructure etc per worker etc? How much do migrants raise rents? How much do migrants suppress wages?

Any migration should be filtered such that they earn a wage that will have only positive effects on the economy and not just fund the establishment. Anything below this number is a hidden subsidy.

#2 The subsidy is not hidden if the Washington Examiner could find it. They can give it all kinds of fancy names like Earned Income Tax Credit but it's a subsidy for Democrat votes for all to see.

#3 author of article didn't understand the census report or the reality of non citizen households

a lot of households have one or more members working and supplement that with other household members getting benefits - frequently the household members are not related -- it is very complicated

having said that BPebble's points are certainly valid, in particular the cost of medical care for non citizens is enormous and typically funded by complicated cross subsidies -- education of children of non citizens is another subsidy that is difficult to quantify but certainly significant, especially for some local school districts

#4 They're natural conservatives. All the best people have told me so.

Never mind the approval of benefits for five household members with only one or no SSN. (Shhh!)
