Legalizing 2 million illegal immigrant “Dreamers” would cost the government $25.9 billion over the next decade, as those now-legal people would claim more tax, education and other benefits they haven’t been able to get before, the Congressional Budget Office said Friday.
The CBO also said newly legalized Dreamers would sponsor 80,000 more immigrants to enter the country as part of “chain migration.”
Immigrant-rights activists have argued that legalizing Dreamers would be a financial boon to the country, but the CBO and the Joint Committee on Taxation suggested otherwise, saying that while they would pay somewhat higher taxes in to the government, they would take far more out of it.

The CBO is always slanted towards Democrats so double that number.
It is past time to stop that nonsense.
Kick ALL illegals out.
The libs have created this mess and Trump must continue to drain the swamp or it will never end.
There is a reason behind all of this daca crap. They legalize the kids, they will legalize the parents. Then that's when the rest of the family comes here. Votes galore for the dumbocrats. That's why it needs to be stopped.
