A recent report by the Manhattan Institute estimates the lifetime fiscal impact of immigrants, showing significant contributions from young, college-educated immigrants, while also outlining the fiscal challenges posed by certain demographic groups.
The report titled, The Lifetime Fiscal Impact of Immigrants, evaluates the impact of various proposed immigration reforms, with a specific focus on allowing children of long-term visa holders—commonly referred to as "documented dreamers"— to contribute to the economy.
“These so-called documented dreamers hail mostly from India but also from China and other countries, and they arrived legally as children under their parents’ work or investment visa. But they turned 21 while their parents waited for a green card and are no longer eligible based on their dependent visa,” the report stated.
