The libertarian Cato Institute did the data analysis and found that immigrants consume less welfare and entitlement program benefits than native-born Americans. Source.

On a per capita basis, immigrants consumed 24 percent less welfare and entitlement benefits than native-born Americans in 2023.

Noncitizen immigrants—including those lawfully present in the United States on various temporary visas, lawful permanent residents, and illegal immigrants—consumed 53 percent less welfare than native-born Americans. Noncitizens were 7.5 percent of the population and consumed just 3.2 percent of all welfare.

Noncitizens consumed 77 percent less old-age entitlement benefits and 6 percent less means-tested welfare benefits on a per capita basis than native-born Americans.

All of the details are in the article.

So now we know that immigrants commit less crime and consume less welfare than native-born Americans.

The libertarian Cato Institute did another analysis of the subject, and the fiscal impact of immigrants was important for the financial health of the nation.

Immigrants’ Recent Effects on Government Budgets: 1994–2023

The government first began gathering detailed information on benefits use by citizenship status in 1994. The data show:

  • 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.
