Advocates of expanding the number of refugees admitted to the United States make the claim that refugee resettlement improves our nation's fiscal health. In our latest report ([link removed]) , we explain that this claim is unsupportable. Today's refugees have fewer than nine years of schooling on average. Because of their low earning power and immediate access to welfare benefits, recent refugees cost the government substantially more than they contribute in taxes, even over the long term. Our best estimate of the average lifetime fiscal cost of those refugees entering as adults (ages 25 to 64) is $133,000. While the United States may want to pay to further our humanitarian goals, resettlement here is not the most cost-effective means of aiding displaced people.

Still Waiting for Trump to Stop H-1Bs from Replacing U.S. Workers ([link removed])
By John Miano
The H-1B visa program is designed to replace Americans with cheap, foreign workers. For decades, employers have replaced hundreds of Americans at a time using H-1B visas. Whether the result of corporate control (e.g., Amazon over the Washington Post or Disney over ABC) or political correctness, the nation's elite media largely ignore this issue and refuse to report on cases when Americans are replaced.

SCOTUS Upholds Kansas Fraud Convictions ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
In a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court reversed decisions issued by the Supreme Court of Kansas in three cases involving aliens who were prosecuted for fraudulently using other people's Social Security numbers on state and federal tax-withholding forms, finding that the employment-authorization verification provisions in section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act did not preempt the Kansas statutes under which the three were convicted. It is a triumph of common sense over obfuscation.

DHS to Let in 35,000 H-2B Workers Above the Current Ceiling ([link removed])
By David North
The government is going to let in 35,000 more H-2B workers than the usual ceiling of 33,000 for the second half of the fiscal year, the Department of Homeland Security announced on March 5. This is one of the smaller foreign worker programs and is for unskilled, non-agricultural workers; it will be more than double in size for this time period.

Council on Environmental Quality Holds Public Hearing on the National Environmental Policy Act ([link removed])
By Julie Axelrod
The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), which became law in 1970, mandates that agencies analyze the environmental impacts of all of their environmentally significant actions before carrying them out. But, though the federal government’s immigration programs certainly are environmentally significant actions, in the 50 years since NEPA became law, any analysis of immigration’s impacts has slipped through the cracks.
