“Today’s nonpartisan CBO analysis makes it clear that comprehensive immigration reform isn’t just good for the economy, and it’s not just the right thing to do for our security and our families, but it also significantly reduces our deficit and debt over the next two decades. If anyone was on the fence about this bill because they were truly worried about its impact on the budget, this positive analysis should put those fears to rest.
“Although the positive fiscal impact of comprehensive immigration reform is great news, this bill is about so much more than that. At its heart, this is a bill that touches nearly every aspect of American life – from our economy, to our security, and from our classrooms to our workplaces. It’s about the type of country we want to be, what we stand for, and what type of future we want to build.”
