how much would dreamers cost the taxpayers
Plus, the CBO said the Dreamers would bring an additional 80,000 immigrants to the U.S., adding to the liability. In total, the immigrants and their families would cost taxpayers $26.8 billion, but only pay back $.9 billion in taxes, the CBO said. The analysis found that roughly 3.25 million undocumented immigrants are eligible for Dreamer status, while only 2 million would apply and only 1.6 million would be accepted over the next decade.
