Their findings are clear:

In each year from 1994 to 2023, across all levels of government, immigrants paid more in taxes than they received in benefits.

This resulted in a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 U.S. dollars over that period, including savings on interest payments on the national debt."
