Original Note:
The claim immigrants pay more in taxes than they receive in benefits is misleading. Migration Watch UK reported a net cost of £13-£17B for 2014/15, w/ EEA migrants contributing £2.8B & non-EEA migrants costing £15.6B. FAIR’s 2023 report shows U.S. net cost of $119.3B p.a. https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/briefing-paper/381/the-fiscal-effects-of-immigration-to-the-uk-2014-15 https://www.migrationwatchuk.org/press-release/396 https://www.fairus.org/issue/publications-resources/fiscal-burden-illegal-immigration-united-states-taxpayers-2023
