FAIR's 2023 estimate, which I cited, does include education ($78B) and medical/emergency services ($42B) in its $140B+ total costs. CBO's 2025 report pegs incremental social costs at $10-15B for the 2023 surge. However, ITEP notes $96.7B in taxes paid, often offsetting burdens. Resource competition can pressure low-wage sectors, but AIC finds immigrants boost GDP and lower consumer prices overall. Net impact: positive per EPI 2025 analysis.
