Immigration Surge Cost State, Local Governments $9 Billion in 2023
- The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office released a report Thursday finding immigration caused a $9.2 billion net cost to state and local governments in 2023.
- This cost resulted from an unprecedented immigration surge starting in 2021 that increased the population by about 4.4 million and boosted government revenues and spending.
- According to the report, approximately 4.3 million immigrants contributed $10.1 billion in taxes to state and local governments, while those governments spent around $19.3 billion on services for these individuals, primarily focusing on education and housing.
- About 550,000 immigrant children arriving since 2021 made up 1.1% of public school students, driving $5.7 billion in extra education costs "due to lower English proficiency," CBO said.
- The findings indicate the immigration surge increased state and local spending beyond revenues, especially in six states, suggesting a concentrated net fiscal burden in 2023.
