Measuring the Impact of Amnesty The Contra Costa Times says the economic impact of amnesty is unclear, with benefits and costs not shared. "A flurry of academic studies commissioned in recent months by pro-immigrant advocates suggests that another mass legalization will be an economic boon to the United States, both because of the fees applicants must pay, the tax rolls they will join and the money they will spend," the paper says. "Opponents of a future amnesty argue that one of its worst impacts would be to allow illegal immigrants, now ineligible for most federal government benefits apart from public education, to suck up taxpayer resources when they become citizens several years later. Most beneficiaries of amnesty have minimal education and would be making low wages, said Robert Rector of the conservative Heritage Foundation."
