bighairymike: Here is the scam being perpetrated - the Federal government allows unlimited seeking of asylum and rebukes arguments about the cost of benefits by claiming as you do "until you're granted asylum you don't get government benefits". Then the seeker goes onto the queue... there is the cost of housing, language training, job training...

Boater: This is of course by design... the expense to society is enormous, from health care, security, and education all to borne by the average US citizen.

The American Immigration Council published a report this past June highlighting the substantial economic and social impact of refugees in the United States. The report, 'Starting Anew: The Economic Impact of Refugees in America,' examined U.S. census data on nearly 2.4 million refugees and found refugees pay billions of dollars in taxes annually and demonstrate a remarkable entrepreneurial spirit, with high rates of business ownership, citizenship attainment, and homeownership.

In 2019, the refugees examined in the analysis generated $93.6 billion in household income, contributing $25 billion in taxes and leaving them with $68.6 billion in disposable income to stimulate the U.S. economy.

Refugees residing in the country for at least 20 years achieved a median household income of $71,400, surpassing the median income of U.S. households overall.

About 89.9% of refugees residing in the United States for 20 years or more have become citizens, and 59.2% of likely refugee households own their homes.

Andy Grove came to America as a refugee and went on to cofound -- and then lead -- Intel Corporation.

Another refugee, Sergey Brin, cofounded Google (now Alphabet), a company that has more than 150,000 employees and is valued today at over $1.4 trillion.

Al Goldstein entered America as a refugee and has founded two companies -- Avant and Amount -- that are valued at over $1 billion each and employ more 1,000 people combined.

Perhaps you should stop looking at refugees and asylum seekers as a zero-sum game, amassing benefits for themselves and acting only as a drain on American taxpayers' wallets. That's false. The data suggest that the opposite is true: severe immigration restrictions actually harm natives of the country of migrant destination.
