Immigrants Would Be $57.4B Tax Cut for Americans

President Trump’s ban on allowing welfare-dependent legal immigrants to resettle permanently in the United States would likely save each American taxpayer about $1,600 a year.

As Breitbart News reported, the Trump administration is set to roll out a plan in the next month that bars foreign nationals who need government welfare in order to live from resettling in the U.S. Such a ban on welfare importation through immigration has been eyed by the Trump White House since February.

Such a plan would be a boon for American taxpayers, who currently spend about $57.4 billion a year on paying for the welfare, crime, and schooling costs of the country’s mass importation of 1.5 million new, mostly low skilled legal immigrants every year. In the last decade, the U.S. has imported more than 10 million foreign nationals and is on track to import the same amount in the coming decade if legal immigration controls are not implemented.

The National Academies of Science released a report two years ago, noting that state and local American taxpayers are billed about $1,600 each per year to pay for the cost of importing welfare-dependent legal immigrants, and immigrant households consume 33 percent more cash welfare than American citizen households.
