Steven A. Camarota testifies before the U.S. House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs
Congressional Testimony
The Border Crisis: The Cost of Chaos ([link removed])
Statement of Steven A. Camarota before the U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee, Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs

Summary: Adding millions of people to the country through immigration drives up the cost of housing and reduces affordability relative to wages in areas of heavy settlement. Fiscally, illegal immigrants are a net drain — they create more in costs than they pay in taxes. Illegal immigration also increases the supply of labor impacting the wages and employment of some American workers, often the poorest and least educated. The availability of illegal immigrant workers allows American policymakers to ignore the decades-long increase in the share of working-age less-educated U.S.-born men not in the labor force — neither working nor looking for work. They are not counted as unemployed because they are not actively looking for work. This deterioration is linked to serious social pathologies such as crime, welfare dependency, suicide, and drug overdoses. Finally, illegal immigrants do increase the aggregate size of the U.S. economy, but overall GDP impact is not a measure of their tax
contributions or economic benefits to the U.S.-born. Almost all the GDP increase goes to the illegal immigrants themselves in the form of wages.

Poll: Americans Aren’t Fooled by Immigration Enforcement Claims ([link removed])
By Andrew R. Arthur
Excerpt: The GW/Harris X poll makes clear that American voters are underwhelmed by immigration enforcement under the Biden-Harris administration, and that they are not fooled by reports that things are getting much better on that front. So expect Trump to highlight the issue between now and November 5, and the vice president to talk about almost anything else.
