The open borders lobby has reached new heights of absurdity with a recent Cato Institute study claiming immigration has generated a staggering $14.5 trillion in tax revenue surplus since 1994. But here's the kicker – even their own rigged numbers can't hide the devastating impact on American families.
The libertarian think tank's February study admits that mass immigration drives up housing prices by flooding the market with demand, yet somehow spins this as a positive because it means more property tax revenue. You read that right – they're celebrating the fact that your mortgage payments have skyrocketed because foreigners are competing for American homes.
This is economic gaslighting at its finest. While working-class Americans are priced out of homeownership and forced into cramped apartments, the Cato Institute is popping champagne because local governments are raking in more tax dollars from inflated property values.
The Numbers Don't Add Up
Critics immediately pounced on the study's methodology, noting that Cato uses bizarre standards to judge immigration policy. The think tank conveniently ignores the crushing burden on schools, hospitals, and infrastructure while cherry-picking revenue streams that make mass immigration look like an economic miracle.
What they won't tell you is how many American workers have seen their wages stagnate due to cheap foreign labor flooding the market. They won't mention the strain on emergency rooms or the overcrowded classrooms where English is no longer the primary language.
"This is exactly the kind of establishment propaganda President Trump is fighting against. They want to replace American workers with cheaper alternatives while calling it prosperity."
The timing of this study is no coincidence. As President Trump ramps up his mass deportation operations and secures our border, the open borders crowd is desperately trying to justify decades of failed policy that put foreign interests ahead of American families.
The great replacement isn't just about demographics – it's about economics. When think tanks celebrate Americans being priced out of their own neighborhoods, you know the fix is in. Thank God we have a president who actually puts America First.
