Regarding the children of immigrants who are born in America, the report says their access to welfare will increase total federal programs expenditures and debt interest by $300B over the ten year period, resulting in an additional $23B in mandatory spending in 2034.

Regarding the debt, the report states that while undocumented migrants will lead to a debt reduction of $4B from 2024-2028, their presense in the country will increase debt spending by $101B between 2024 and 2034.

As their labor participation leads to an $8.7T gross domestic product (GDP) over the ten years, including $1.3T in 2034, their payroll and income taxes will grow as their wage growth rate climbs to 3% by 2034.
