Per Noem: "Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom - not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars...."

Let's Check the Facts:

• Our European forefathers stole the land on which they built this nation from the indigenous people, slaughtered them, and pillaged their villages.

• Immigrants in the U.S. have a beneficial effect on our economy and their expulsion will hurt us all.

According to the conservative Cato Institute:

• For each year from 1994 to 2023, the US immigrant population generated more in taxes than they received in benefits from all levels of government.

• Over that period, immigrants created a cumulative fiscal surplus of $14.5 trillion in real 2024 US dollars, including $3.9 trillion in savings on interest on the debt.

• Without immigrants, US government public debt at all levels would be at least 205 percent of gross domestic product (GDP)-nearly twice its 2023 level.

• These results, which do not account for any of immigration's indirect, tax-revenue-boosting effects

on economic growth, represent the lower bound of the positive fiscal effects. Even by this conservative analysis, immigrants may have already prevented a fiscal crisis.
