Is immigration bad for America? Americans seem to increasingly agree it is. The U.S. southern border’s record-breaking immigration crisis has — for the first time in decades — led the majority of Americans to tell pollsters they would like to reduce both legal and illegal immigration.

My new research answers the question of whether immigrants impose a net burden on the federal government or help us reduce the budget deficit.
No human’s worth should be measured by their effect on a federal budget, but public policy decisions should be based on measurable facts — not stereotypes — and the effect of immigrants on government finances should factor into any decision to admit them.
