This NET fiscal Impact is not well known and it's remarkable: Refugees and asylees had a positive net fiscal impact on the U.S. government over the 15-year period, totaling $123.8 billion. The net fiscal benefit to the federal government was estimated at $31.5 billion and approximately $92.3 billion to state and local governments. When compared with the total U.S. population on a per capita basis, refugees and asylees had a comparable net fiscal impact.

College-Educated Immigrants in the United States

An underappreciated recent U.S. immigration trend is the rising number of immigrants who hold university-level degrees. This is particularly the case for recently arrived immigrants: 48 percent of those coming to the United States within the 2018-22 period had a college degree. The immigrant population overall slightly outperforms on educational attainment, representing 17 percent of all college-educated adults ages 25 and older in the United States, even as they were slightly less than 14 percent of the total U.S. population as of 2022. https://www.migrationpolicy.org/article/college-educated-immigrants-united-states?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=71841fed-4eee-4174-8c78-41623c251b4c&fbclid=IwY2xjawGGFUVleHRuA2FlbQIxMQABHS9_FyFs-yE0NzDPGbBOarFonngwsYZ8anQFYjYxE7sAeq2mBvai0VQ6cQ_aem_-XsaLsyI-hbx9MfddKCcmw

Inspite of widely circulated propaganda, noncitizen do NOT vote in U.S. elections! It is illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal or state elections in the United States. There is no evidence that unauthorized immigrants, green-card holders, or immigrants on temporary visas are voting in significant numbers, despite some claims that “millions” of noncitizens are voting in U.S. elections. In fact, audits by election officials and numerous studies reflect that voter fraud by noncitizens is extremely rare. Please see: https://www.migrationpolicy.org/.../noncitizen-voting-us...
