total net benefit to the Social Security System will be nearly $500 billion

Immigrants Are Net Contributors to Social Security and Medicare " The total net benefit (taxes paid over benefits received) to the Social Security system in today’s dollars from continuing current levels of immigration is nearly $500 billion for the 1998-2022 period and nearly $2.0 trillion through 2072.

My my, a pro-amnesty group would come up with numbers like that. Who would have thought?

The National Research Council (NRC) of the USA is the working arm of the United States National Academy of Sciences and the United States National Academy of Engineering, carrying out most of the studies done in their names.

The president of the National Academy of Sciences is the chair of both the Governing Board and Executive Committee; the president of the National Academy of Engineering is vice chair.

Its members are drawn from the councils of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members of its committees are chosen for their special competences and with regard for appropriate balance. Its reports are reviewed by a group other than the authors according to procedures approved by a Report Review Committee consisting of members of the National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine.

The National Research Council is one of the four organizations which comprise the United States National Academies.

The National Research Council (NRC) functions under the auspices of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS), the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), and the Institute of Medicine (IOM). The NAS, NAE, IOM, and NRC are part of a private, nonprofit institution that provides science, technology and health policy advice under a congressional charter signed by President Abraham Lincoln that was originally granted to the NAS in 1863. Under this charter, the NRC was established in 1916, the NAE in 1964, and the IOM in 1970. The four organizations are collectively referred to as the National Academies.

I'm somewhat curious how Canada came into play in regard to U.S. tax statistics. Oh well, no way of knowing.

It'd certainly be good if you located and presented other government statistics if you have evidence that the numbers are incorrect. I was curious about the source document for Francis' numbers. One of the places I found them (first of several thousand hits) was at the site I linked. The research/statistics are referenced by many sites/agencies.

Why would the groups you listed have any interest in tax revenues from illegal immigrants?

yet I don't see you urging your own country to benefit from such great illegal immigrant benefits

So would people I know be offended if they were legal and were referred to as illegal.

But despite ebrown's protests I am not a fan of political correctness and prefer to call it as it is. It's okay to call a bank robber a bank robber rather than 'a person who entered and robbed a bank'. It's okay to call a jay walker a jay walker instead of 'somebody who crossed in the middle of the block'. Speeders are speeders. And illegals are illegals.
