Effects of the Immigration Surge on the Federal Budget and the Economy

Congressional Budget Office

No 60165, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: The number of people entering the United States has increased sharply in recent years. Most of the increase comes from a surge in people whom CBO categorizes as other foreign nationals. On the basis of pre-2020 trends, CBO would have expected the net immigration of people in that category to average around 200,000 per year. In the agency’s projections, the net immigration of other foreign nationals exceeds that rate by a total of 8.7 million people over the 2021–2026 period.
