It is not a Democratic or Republican organization. They are the ones that have been doing the studies. When the National Research Councils report sought to estimate a bottomline figure for the fiscal impact of immigration. here is what they found: When we simultaneously average across both age and education to get a single summary measure of net fiscal impact based on the characteristic of recent arrivals. under our baseline assumptions. we find an average value of plus $80.000. Mr. President. $80.000 per immigrant is what the NRC says. That Is a good deal of money. In a country that absorbs about a million immigrants a year. that means that each year of that pays $80 billion more in taxes over the course of a lifetime. more than it consumes in services. So when we talk about waiving the point of order. we do it from a very sound fiscal point of view. These are based upon the CBO. the National Research Council.
