The conservative Cato Institute conducted several studies on immigration, immigrant labor, and the impacts on our country. Empirical data >>> feelings/perceptions. And you can read about it just a few pages back!

Cato ain’t liberal either.
Just amazing...
Did you even read the study? Or did you just post to show everyone you're not tribal?
Subtitle:
With some variation and exceptions, the net fiscal impact of immigrants is more positive than it is for native‐born Americans and positive overall for the federal and state/local governments.
They didn't include illegal immigrants,
due to showing only 61,652 illegal immigrants came into the USA for 24 years.
Demographics of the Illegal Immigrant Population
The second change we attempted was to include a separate net fiscal cost estimate for illegal immigrants,
but we were unable to implement it due to small sample sizes in the CPS. We attempted to locate them in the 1994–2018 CPS sample by using a residual methodology developed by Christian Gunadi, an economist at the University of California, San Diego, who imputed legal immigrant status and identified those remaining as illegal immigrants.
88According to Gunadi’s method, people are counted as legal immigrants if they meet any of the following criteria, as recorded in the 2019 ACS: The immigrant arrived after 1980; is a U.S. citizen; received welfare benefits, such as Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, Medicaid, Medicare, or military insurance; served in the Armed Forces; worked for the government; resided in public housing or received rental subsidies or was the spouse of someone who resided in public housing or received rental subsidies; was born in Cuba and had a spouse who was a legal immigrant or U.S. citizen; or had occupational licenses. We omitted the occupational licensing criteria because of changes in the reporting in this variable in post‐2017 census data, but that omission makes little difference to the final numbers.
Gunadi’s method works well for the larger ACS, but it identifies only 72,478 illegal immigrants in the CPS from 1994–2018. Because individuals can and do appear in multiple years in the CPS,
the number of unique illegal immigrant individuals is even lower, at 61,652. As a result, many age and education groups have almost no illegal immigrant representation in the CPS sample, making it infeasible to obtain accurate fiscal profiles that are as granular and representative as the other profiles used in this model (see Table 24). Reduced illegal immigrant ineligibility for most benefits in this model means that the net fiscal impact of illegal immigrants would almost certainly be more positive than that of legal immigrants at the same age and education level,
but we were unable to verify that because of the small sample sizes.

Gotta love how I’m told to read conservative sources and step out of my echo chamber while I constantly cite conservative sources (The Atlantic, David French, Tom Nichols, Cato Institute). Not to mention peer reviewed studies. But whatever. Feelings and perceptions trump everything these days in a nation of narcissistic children.
Just amazing.

Maybe you are the troll. I know you love to call everyone a troll yet your post are consistent of being a troll.
Again your knowledge of immigration, like other topics, is quite shallow. There is a difference between legal immigration and illegal immigration. Illegal immigration is the biggest issue due to the consumption of resources. Show me a study that shows the net positive on illegal immigration that has never been seen before. 2024 years is already out pacing the first 3 years of the Biden administration:
In the first 4 months of 2024 we are at 63% of illegal immigrants encountered in all of 2021. These don't include the got-a-way that were never encountered.
Lets see a study from Cato that shows 10 million illegal immigrants plus legal immigrants compared to just 61,000 illegals in 24 years and legal immigrants.
You can't debate this because you haven't done any research. This is a resource issue. Just like you call "book banning" anti-gay or transphobic, when the actual issue is "what is age appropriate". Books are not being banned, you can get any books you want at any time. Parents can buy any books in any state.
Just keep calling people racists, anti-gay and transphobic. Just keep being a left wing troll.
