The Fiscal Truth About Immigration

from Your Neighbor on the Left Podcast · host Your Neighbor on the Left

This week, we're taking a look at a recent report from the Cato Institute, a Libertarian think-tank, titled "Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 1994–2023." Contrary to prevalent narratives, the data reveals that immigrants have been a substantial fiscal asset, contributing more in taxes than they receive in benefits. We explore how these findings challenge common perceptions and discuss the implications for immigration policy and public discourse. Also in this episode: Trump's racist pattern, Yes, Climate Change is still real, and the truth about the SAVE Act. Visit the podcast website at https://www.neighborontheleft.com
