Increased immigration could boost U.S. economy, report finds

Immigration and the economy are among some of the key issues for voters in the 2024 election. Now, a new report from the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office suggests that migrants coming to the U.S. could help the country's financial situation. CBS News immigration and politics reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez joins to unpack the findings.

Study finds that mass immigration is good for the oligarchy lol

[oneanddonetzone]

Who sponsored the report? What a bunch of BS

[DerekDAngel]

More immigrants = high demand.
Low Supply = High costs.
Record corporate profits = wage theft.

So the CBO report is that illegal immigration is good for America as long as you don’t include all the expenses and govt spending from illegal immigration. Is this a joke? 😆

[JeffEbe-texs]

How does more welfare help the economy

[DerekDAngel]

The news and the government will say anything to keep the billionaires happy lmao

[erikkengaard]

The economy is the 1%. More peope, of course, will increase the total GDP . . . but will decrease theGDP per capita. And add to the transfer of income from the middle class.

From its not happing, to its happing, but it’s a good thing. You guys are ridiculous

[moshea.]

They are talking about legal. This os so misleading

[Devocion-Souza]

I'm favoured $130k every 4 weeks! I now have a good house and can afford anything and also support my family>>

[Jean-kpcu]

Historically speaking, immigration has always been favorable to the US Economy.

What you just said sounds so stupid to all of us. People are listening to New York and Chicago and talking about how many billions of dollars that they’ve lost over this well they didn’t lose it. The taxpayers did.

🤔 What about the *increase drug and crime?* Hawai'i news reported recently that *Mexican cartels are ramping up the drug trade in Hawai'i* in recent years as *60, 000 Mexican nationals* have been making our 50th State their home.

[yohumomms]

They’ve been here for last 30 yrs and America is going bankrupt 😂by more debts

[cesarhernandez]

Since its so good for the economy have the US Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany speed up my wife’s Green Card process

[JacobLee-oj]

Who conducted the report? Rabbi Moshe pearlgoldplatinumberg openborderstein?

[kathleenvance]

mk. Yah, because they don't have couches, microwaves, silverware and shoes. Still not worth it.

[ShayBelladonna]

Which border are you referrign to because the Canadian border is a problem too.

[BaithNa]

Every study has shown that immigration helps a country's economy because they pay taxes but don't reap any of the rewards that citizens get from the government. Cheap labour never hurts too.

[StalinTheManfSteel]

Is this a joke? Millions of poor homeless people flooding into the Country is good for the economy? 😂
