Prepared Testimony of Steven A. Camarota
Director of Research Center for Immigration Studies
Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee

Hearing entitled “The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services”

For Immigration Integrity, Security, and Enforcement Subcommittee of the House Judiciary Committee Hearing entitled “The Impact of Illegal Immigration on Social Services,” Thursday, January 11, 2024 Summary Illegal immigrants are a net fiscal drain, meaning they receive more in government services than they pay in taxes. This result is not due to laziness or fraud. Illegal immigrants actually have high rates of work, and they do pay some taxes, including income and payroll taxes.

The fundamental reason that illegal immigrants are a net drain is that they have a low average education level, which results in low average earnings and tax payments. It also means a large share qualify for welfare programs, often receiving benefits on behalf of their U.S.-born children. Like their less-educated and low-income U.S.-born counterparts, the tax payments of illegal immigrants do not come close to covering the cost they create.

Is anyone here disagreeing with that?! NO!

I guess I was brought up in an earlier time when we supported our Allie’s when they were attacked by our enemies. Sometimes we even sent troops, but that, thankfully, is no longer the case.

When did Ukraine become our ally? Have the helped us out in any wars? Have the contributed and goods or services to help our country other than paying the Bidens?

I don't even know what that means? Maybe I'm too much a fool.

A family member stopped having political discussions with me saying, "You always have facts and information, but I just know how I feel". That kind of arguing does sound like a waste of breath to me.

I forgot to put on.

From Sen Chuck Schumer:

Schumer is the same foreskin bandit that said he would stand by Israel until his last dying breath.

Wouldn't it be nice if he felt that way about the USA.

Schumer is a grade A piece of sh*t

The Biden Administration gift of $988 million to Ukraine would have been well spent on the Victims of Hurricane Helene.

I do not believe a President in office or leaving office should be allowed to pardon criminals. Many law enforcement agents, put their lives on the line to arrest these people. District attorneys and courts sometimes spend years making a case that takes time and funding to put these people behind bars. A President should not be able to commute or pardon someone in a day. It kind of goes against the whole reason behind our justice system. It is proven that if released a large portion will revert back to crime, and to pardon someone so they cannot be prosecuted gives them freedom to break laws. Presidents leaving office have done this for years, but I do not see the need or reasoning behind it.
